* All fuel consumption figures and CO2 emissions are based on the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) test procedure. This test procedure is designed to assess the emission levels of car engines and fuel economy in passenger cars.

The results do not express or imply any guarantee of the fuel consumption of a particular car as there are inevitable differences between individual cars of the same model. Additionally, driving style, traffic conditions, as well as the age and mileage and standard of maintenance will affect fuel consumption. The weight of the vehicle will influence the level of CO2 emitted. As a result, vehicles with higher levels of specification and factory fit options may emit higher levels of CO2.

Pilot Assist

Our new Pilot Assist semi-autonomous drive technology takes the stress out of driving without losing the fun. Already from standstill you can enjoy a smooth and relaxed drive on highways with proper road markings. Assisting you to comfortably follow the traffic flow within the current lane, Pilot Assist provides gentle steering support to help you keep the car within the lane markings while helping you keep your set speed and distance to the vehicle in front of you. Pilot Assist is easily activated via the steering wheel buttons. Steering support is initiated as soon as Pilot Assist detects the lane markings on both sides of the lane. Pilot Assist steering support is active from standstill up to highway speeds, while speed and distance support is available up to 200 km/h. You can override Pilot Assist anytime by using the brakes, pressing the accelerator or turning the steering wheel. And if you don't keep a hand on the steering wheel, Pilot Assist is automatically switched off.

Please note: The driver is expected to actively participate in the driving and remains responsible for monitoring, supervision, and over all operation of the vehicle. Semi-autonomous systems, such as Pilot Assist, are restricted in how much acceleration, braking and steering force they can apply.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Helping you to maintain your preset gap to vehicles in front at all speeds up to 200 km/h, the Adaptive Cruise Control is a supportive partner for a more relaxed driving experience on any journey. Just select the desired speed and the desired time gap to the vehicle in front. When the radar sensor detects a slower vehicle in front, the speed automatically adapts to that vehicle. And when the road is clear, the car resumes the selected speed. At speeds over 70 km/h, Adaptive Cruise Control also makes overtaking more convenient: simply turning the indicator on, Adaptive Cruise Control will briefly accelerate your car for a more efficient and fast overtaking. Whenever you want, you can also select conventional cruise control.

Distance Alert

Keep control of the distance to the vehicle in front and rest assured your Volvo will alert if you come to close. If the Adaptive Cruise Control is disengaged and a vehicle in front comes too close, the distance alert function activates a warning light to help you keep a proper distance. The warning light is displayed with a symbol on the windscreen if your car is equipped with the full-graphic head-up display.

City Safety

Adding to a relaxed driving experience, our standard-fitted City Safety technology always looks out for you, detects danger ahead and warns you and intervenes if necessary. City Safety uses advanced radar and camera technology to constantly scan the road ahead for moving or standstill vehicles in your direction, as well as for pedestrians and cyclists – day or night. A Volvo safety world-first, it can also detect large animals such as elk, horses and reindeer. City Safety gives you audible, visible and brake pulse warnings if you approach the vehicle in front too fast or if there are pedestrians, cyclists or large animals in your path. If you don’t react to the warning and a collision is imminent, full auto­braking is engaged to help you avoid or mitigate an impact. Simultaneously, the safety belts are prepared to help minimise the strain on your body if a collision can't be avoided. In an intersection, City Safety can also assist by braking automatically if you should turn into the path of an oncoming car – a Volvo safety world-first designed to help you avoid or mitigate this type of dangerous collision. If there is an imminent risk of a collision with a vehicle in the same direction, City Safety can reduce your speed with up to 50 km/h and thereby help avoid a collision by automatic braking. A collision with a cyclist riding in the same direction as your car can be avoided at a speed difference up to 50 km/h. At higher speed differences, the collision will be mitigated. And to help you avoid or mitigate a collision with elks and other large animals, the system can reduce the speed of your car with up to 15 km/h.

Lane Keeping Aid

Lane Keeping Aid adds convenience to motorway driving. If you get too close to if you or unintentionally cross a lane marking, it will gently steer your car back into the lane or alert with vibrations in the steering wheel. Constantly monitoring your position on the road, Lane Keeping Aid provides smooth support at speeds between 65 km/h and 200 km/h. When you intentionally cross a lane marking and use the indicator, the system will not intervene. Lane Keeping Aid is standard.

Run-Off road Mitigation

Our new Run-Off road Mitigation with steer assist technology is a Volvo safety world-first that helps prevent you from leaving the road accidentally. This function uses a digital camera to register road edges and lane markings. If you stray over the lane markings to the road edge, Run-Off road Mitigation will put you back on a safer path by actively steer your car back on the road. When needed, braking will also be activated in order to help mitigate a road departure. If the function senses an active driver behaviour, the function will not activate for a short while. Run-Off road Mitigation operates at speeds between 65 km/h and 140 km/h.

Driver Alert Control

Driver Alert Control is a nice and thoughtful way to alert you if your driving behaviour shows signs of distraction or tiredness. Active at speeds over 65km/h, a camera looks at the road ahead while Driver Alert Control checks on your steering inputs to see how they compare to your regular driving style. If it senses that you’re driving more erratically, or there are signs that you’re drowsy or distracted, it’ll give you an audible warning and a message on the instrument panel suggesting you take a break. It can also propose a nearby place to have a break. Combined with Sensus Navigation, it can also propose a nearby place to have a break.

Road Sign Information

With Road Sign Information you don't have to miss important road signs. A forward camera detects speed limit, "no overtaking", "no entry" and various types of supplementary signs. The actual sign is then displayed in the speedometer or in the head-up display – to help keep you constantly alert on current restrictions. If you want, it can also alert you with a visual warning if you exceed the speed limit, by flashing gently three times. This is easily set in the centre console menu. And if the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation, information about speed cameras can be displayed next to the speed limit.

Speed limiter

Your Volvo can help to ensure that you do not exceed the speed limits. Set a speed limit of your choice or allow automatic setting using information from the Road Sign Information System. When you reach the set speed limit, your car will help ensure you not exceed that speed unless you depress the accelerator fully for a moment. In the driver's display, you can see the set speed limit.

Run-off road protection

If a run-off road accident can't be avoided, your Volvo will prepare the front safety belts for maximum protection. Our unique run-off road protection system is a safety world first that continuously scans the road ahead. If the system spots a potential run­off scenario or collision, it automatically tightens the front safety belts electrically to help keep you at a safe position. This together with a robust body structure and the other restraint technologies, helps provide the best protection in a collision. And if the car lands heavily on impact, the specially designed front seat structure helps protect your spine. It acts as a shock absorber to help reduce the energy created by a powerful vertical impact.

Electronic Stability Control

One of the most vital safety advances of the past decade, Electronic Stability Control helps minimize the risk of wheel spin and skids at all speeds in all conditions. And helping to minimize understeer at all speeds, it also contributes to safer and more fun cornering characteristics. The system looks at factors like what direction the car is travelling, how fast the wheels are rotating and how much steering lock is applied. Using all this information, Electronic Stability Control can detect a potential skid and take action to prevent it by reducing engine power and/or braking the appropriate wheels. It can also prevent the wheels from locking during engine braking or when changing to a lower gear in slippery conditions, using Engine Drag Control. To further reduce the risk of losing traction in emergency manoeuvres and corner with high lateral forces, the function Advanced Stability Control senses the car's roll movement and lateral acceleration. But Automatic Stability Control is also about giving you a rewarding driving experience, too, so when you’re cornering enthusiastically the car will feel even more dynamically stable. Another feature that means you’ll experience sharper turn-in to corners, less understeer, more powerful acceleration and more fun behind the wheel is our Corner Traction Control with torque vectoring. It works by braking the inside driven wheel if it starts to lose its grip through a corner, while sending the power to the outer wheel instead. Our new Understeer Control Logic is another innovative technology that further helps minimise understeer tendencies for more stable and dynamic cornering. And if you’re in the mood for a bit of performance driving, Electronic Stability Control has a Sport Mode. It cuts out the engine power reducing function and allows a controlled amount of rear wheel slip, as long as it senses that the driver is using the steering wheel and accelerator in a dynamic way and as long as it doesn’t go too far, in which case it will return to the normal Electronic Stability Control-function.

Emergency Brake light

Our Emergency Brake Light helps alert vehicles approaching from behind if you are forced to panic brake. It works above 50km/h and knows the difference between normal and panic braking. If it is a panic stop, the brake lights will flash at a rate of four times per second, which will telegraph a clear message to following traffic that there’s a potential problem ahead. Once you slow to below 10km/h, the brake lights stop pulsing and your hazard lights take over.

Brake pedal release

To help reduce the risk for injuries on the right foot and leg when the foot is on the brake pedal, the brake pedal is released and moves down to the floor in the event of a frontal collision. This Volvo safety innovation is triggered by the same sensors that activate the safety belt pre-tensioners and airbags when needed.

Brakes with Hill Start Assist and Automatic Hold

In an emergency situation, the large anti-lock ventilated disc brakes of your Volvo will make all the difference. And if you find yourself travelling down a mountain road with the need to brake often and hard, you’ll welcome our brakes’ resistance to fading. But since there is always a risk of fade, your Volvo is prepared for this, too, with Fading Brake Support. This system gradually builds hydraulic brake pressure so that you always have reassuring pedal feel. But what if you find yourself having to brake in an emergency, and perhaps not applying the necessary pressure to the pedal? Well, we’ve developed Hydraulic Brake Assist, which ensures maximum braking pressure is applied hydraulically during a panic stop. Likewise, if you suddenly lift off the accelerator or sensors detect an obstacle in front of the car, Ready Alert Brakes instantly move the brake pads closer to the brake discs to reduce the braking distance. And Electronic Brake Distribution ensures that the right amount of braking goes to the front and rear of the your Volvo depending on where the load in the car is distributed and what the road conditions are. The braking system of your Volvo also contributes to your convenience when you're at standstill in different conditions. An automatic hold function ensures the brakes will be kept engaged after you have braked the car to standstill and releases the brake pedal. If the car is stopped for a longer period, the power parking brake takes over. And to make it easier and safer to starting uphill or downhill from standstill, the Hill start assist function keeps the brakes applied a short period after you have released the brake pedal until you press the accelerator – there's no risk the car will move while your foot moves from the brake pedal to the accelerator.

Automatic braking after a collision

Helping to reduce the risk for more damage and injury after a collision – like hitting other cars or people – your Volvo brakes automatically when the safety belt pre-tensioners or an airbag are activated.

Reinforced passenger compartment

Wherever you go in your Volvo, you and your passengers are surrounded by an extremely strong protective steel cage. Helping to provide maximum occupant protection in all types of collision scenarios, this safety cage is made from hot-formed boron steel – the strongest type of steel used in the car industry. In a collision, the front and rear crumple zones help to dissipate the energy of the crash to reduce the impact on those inside the car, while in a side-collision, our Side-Impact Protection System distributes the crash force across a large portion of the car’s body to further reduce your risk of injury. In the event of a roll-over, the unique roof construction helps protect the occupants. And if there's a collision or roll-over, your Volvo unlocks automatically to make it possible to open the doors from the outside.

SIPS™ side impact protection system

We developed our unique SIPS™ side impact protection system to help protect where you and your passengers are most exposed in the event of a side-collision. The steel framework of the car – including the front seat frames – is designed and reinforced to help displace the impact of a side-collision away from the occupants to other parts of the car body and help prevent intrusion into the cabin. The extremely strong side structure contains ultra-high strength steel and softer grades of steel to help withstand a severe side impact – even with a larger vehicle. The Inflatable Curtain for all the outboard occupants and the front seat side airbags interact with SIPS™ to help provide further protection. In the rear, SIPS™ and the Inflatable Curtain help protect the passengers in the outer rear seats.

Collapsible steering column

The steering column is an advanced part of the safety system, with the upper and lower sections giving way in a controlled manner in a frontal impact to help protect the driver.

Restraint technologies

In a collision, the restraint technologies of your Volvo interact to help reduce the impact. The safety belts with pre-tensioners activate within fractions of a second in the event of a collision or roll over and tighten the belt to help keep the occupants restrained. The safety belts for the front seats and the rear seat's outer positions then release a little to give less strain on the upper body. And if the car detects a situation that may be followed by a collision, such as a run-off road accident, the front safety belts retracts automatically to help maximise protection. Helping to optimise protection, the dual-stage airbags adapt the level of inflation depending on the force of the collision. The driver’s airbag also interacts with the deformation of the collapsible steering column. A knee airbag above the pedals further enhances protection of the driver. Side airbags in the front seats help reduce the risk of serious injuries in a side collision. The Inflatable Curtain helps protect the heads of both front and rear outboard occupants. It also stays inflated for several seconds to provide prolonged protection for subsequent impacts.

Side airbags

In a side-collision, the side airbags inflate instantly to help protect the chest and hip. The side airbags are located in the ideal spot on the front seatback.

Dual-stage airbags, driver and front passenger

In a frontal collision, the driver and passenger airbags help protect your head, face and chest. But because no two collisions are the same, the airbags adapt the level of inflation depending on the force of the impact. The driver’s airbag also interacts with the deformation of the collapsible steering column. And if the impact is low enough that the airbags aren’t needed, the system will just deploy safety belt pre-tensioners if necessary.

Inflatable Curtain

In a frontal offset collision, a side impact or a roll­over accident the Inflatable Curtain (IC) helps protect the heads of both front and rear passengers who are sitting on the sides. It also stays inflated for several seconds to provide prolonged protection in the event of secondary impacts.

Head restraints

The head restraints of your Volvo help offer outstanding protection regardless of a person’s height, whether they are seated in the front or the rear. And the rear middle head restraint can be fully retracted into the backrest to improve the driver’s rearward visibility. It’s designed to obstruct taller passengers from sitting down without raising the restraint to its upright position. The outer head restraints can fold forward at the press of a button (optional) to further improve rear vision. In the folded position, they too are designed to obstruct passengers from sitting down without raising the restraints to their upright position.

WHIPS™ whiplash injury protection system

Our advanced WHIPS™ whiplash injury protection system incorporates the complete backrests and head restraints to help protect the driver and front seat passenger from whiplash injury if the car is hit from behind. During a rear impact, the WHIPS™ system moves the entire seatback with the passenger or driver while the head restraint remains rigid to support the neck. A unique Volvo design.

Protective front seats with energy absorbing seat cushions

The front seats in your Volvo not only provide relaxing comfort for hours of driving. They are also designed to help protect you in the event of an accident. The seat frames are part of the protective body structure and are extremely strong to help protect in a side-impact. Integrated anti-submarining protection helps reduce the risk of sliding under the safety belt in a collision. And to help protect your spine if the car lands hard in the terrain after an accident, the front seat frame and cushions have a completely new design that enables them to absorb severe energy loads.

Prepared front safety belts

Your Volvo continuously scans the road and behind. If it spots a traffic situation, a critical manoeuver such as a panic braking or an obstacle that could result in a collision, the front seat safety belts are tightened electrically to help provide maximum protection in the event of an accident. The front safety belts are also tightened if the car runs off the road in rough terrain, into a ditch or gets airborne. This together with a robust body structure and the other restraint technologies gives the best protection in a collision. If a collision is avoided, the front safety belts unroll again without needing to be serviced.

Safety belts with pre-tensioners and load limiters

Three-point safety belts are the first line of defence when it comes to help protecting people during a crash. That’s why we introduced them in 1959. We also invented the audible and visual safety belt reminder and today, everybody in the car is reminded to fasten their safety belts before moving off. And in the information display on the instrument panel, you can check that the rear seat passengers have all fastened their safety belts and that nobody unfastens them during the trip. Pre-tensioners activate to tighten the belts within fractions of a second in the event of a collision. The safety belts for the front seats and the rear seat's outer positions then release a little to give less strain on the upper body. This also gives optimal belt pressure reduction for children at the rear seat's outer positions and at the integrated booster cushion. This also means that the driver and front passenger are cushioned by the airbags in a controlled fashion. If your Volvo senses a critical traffic situation that could result in a run-off scenario or a collision, our prepared front safety belts automatically tightens the front safety belts electrically to help provide maximum protection in the event of an accident.

Energy-absorbing interior

All the panels and door sides are padded with energy-absorbing materials to help reduce the risk of injury to the car’s passengers.

Warning triangle

This lightweight wide-angle reflector stands upright to alert other road users even in strong winds and on slippery surfaces. It folds easily and stores in its own case.

First-aid kit

The first-aid kit is conveniently carried in the load compartment and contains a variety of bandages. The contents are stored in different compartments to make it easier to find what you need in an emergency.

BLIS™ blind spot information system and Cross Traffic Alert

BLIS™ is a Volvo innovation that helps alert you if a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches fast from behind. The rear-mounted radar sensors cover a large area behind the car and work in various sorts of weather and light conditions, day or night. As a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches rapidly from behind, this function can alert you via a warning light in the front door posts – left and right. Together with the door mirrors, which include a wide-angle mirror on the driver side, this helps you assess the feasibility of a lane change. BLIS™ is activated once the car exceeds 12 km/h and reacts to almost any type of vehicle, including motorcycles. Reversing out of a parking space or anywhere else with restricted vision at the sides can be a tricky business. To make these manoeuvres easier and less stressful our Cross Traffic Alert uses the rear radar sensors to alert you of crossing traffic from the sides. You'll be alerted by an audible warning from the left or right rear loudspeaker and by a graphic warning in the centre display. Alerting for approaching vehicles as well as for pedestrians and cyclists, Cross Traffic Alert is especially helpful in tight and crowded areas where the side view might be limited.

Rear Collision Warning with braking at standstill

Being hit by a car from behind is one of the most common types of collisions. To help you avoid this type of accidents we created the radar based Rear Collision Warning system. If a vehicle approaches fast from behind and the system calculates that there's a risk of collision, it helps alert the driver in the approaching vehicle by flashing your hazard lights at a high rate. And if a collision still can't be avoided, the Rear Collision Warning system tensions the front safety belts just before the impact to help keep the occupants safely restrained. To help reduce the strain on the occupants at the impact the system also activates the brakes if your car is at standstill.

Power parking brake

The power parking brake is easily engaged by pulling the control upwards. You can also set the parking brake to engage automatically every time you stop the engine. It is released automatically as soon as you press the accelerator with the transmission in the DRIVE or REVERSE mode – very convenient when moving off from steep gradients. You can also release it manually by pressing the control downwards.

Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

With our Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System you'll be instantly alerted in the driver display if one of your tyres is low on pressure. Active at 30 km/h or more, it helps increase your safety as well as ensuring maintained comfort and handling characteristics. The system uses the car's anti-lock brake system sensors to calculate the tyre pressure.

Inner and outer rear view mirrors with Auto Dim

The inner rear view mirror and the door mirrors dim simultaneously to help prevent you from being dazzled by the headlights of traffic behind. Once the blinding light ceases, the mirror glass reverts to normal mode automatically.

LED illumination

Journeys after dark have just become a lot more enjoyable and safer. Our signature design LED headlights combine an impactful look with safety and convenience. LED illumination technology allows a supremely wide and long light pattern – the light is more than twice as strong as conventional halogen lights. During daytime, the distinctive hammer shaped light-guides not only act as daytime running lights to make your car more conspicuous – they also flash in a warm colour when indicating. And when the dipped headlights are needed for illumination, they are automatically engaged by a twilight sensor. Contributing to improved fuel economy and lower running costs, the LED lights are extremely energy efficient and last the lifetime of the car without losing any luminance.

Full-LED Active High Beam illumination

Journeys after dark have just become a lot more enjoyable and safer. Our signature design LED headlights combine an impactful look with safety and convenience. Advanced Full-LED Active High Beam illumination technology allows a supremely wide and long light pattern – the light is more than twice as strong as conventional halogen lights. And helping you to see around corners at night, the lights turn up to 30 degrees in either direction with the steering. And with this system, you don’t need to keep flicking between low and high beam, which is not only annoying – according to several studies, it’s also a major cause of night-time accidents. With our new system, your headlights stay on high beam all the time. When another car approaches from the opposite direction, the system prevents dazzling the other driver by shading out only as much of your beam as necessary – no more, no less. Still, the LED headlights will illuminate the areas around the other car with high beam. The same applies to cars in front of you. The system can even recognise pedestrians and cyclists and avoids dazzling them, too – it can keep track of ten separate objects at the same time. And because the system is intelligent, the high beam shuts off when you enter a city, but if you drive past an illuminated sign – say a filling station or supermarket – it stays on so you can see what’s coming up. This means you benefit from safety as well as convenience. During daytime, the distinctive hammer shaped light-guides not only act as daytime running lights to make your car more conspicuous – they also flash in a warm colour when indicating. And when the dipped headlights are needed for illumination, they are automatically engaged by a twilight sensor. Contributing to improved fuel economy and lower running costs, the LED lights are extremely energy efficient and last the lifetime of the car without losing any luminance.

LED illumination with Active High Beam

Halogen illumination

Journeys after dark have become a lot more enjoyable – and safer – thanks to our Active High Beam technology. With this system, you don’t need to keep flicking between dipped and full beam, which is not only annoying – according to several studies, it’s also a major cause of night-time accidents. Employing camera technology, AHB recognises the headlight beam of on-coming vehicles and automatically shifts between high and low beam to optimise your vision without dazzling other drivers. And because the system is intelligent, the high beam shuts off when you enter a city, but if you drive past an illuminated sign – say a filling station or supermarket – it stays on so you can see what’s coming up. This means you benefit from safety as well as convenience.

Fog lamp with cornering function

At speeds of up to 40 km/h, the optional fog lamp with cornering function illuminates the area in which you’re turning at up to 15 degrees around the car for safer manoeuvring – for instance if you’re parking, turning into a small road or driving through a narrow gateway at night. To enhance your control during reversing in the dark, the cornering light activates on both sides to illuminate the area around your car.

Integrated booster cushions, two-stage

With our integrated child booster cushions you'll easily provide safe and comfortable seating for children that have grown out of the conventional child seat. The children will be seated at the correct height for the safety belts to help provide optimum protection, while they can enjoy a better view during the ride. Our integrated child booster cushion features a choice of two heights, so smaller children can sit higher for a better view out. And that adjustable height also means that the safety belts are always positioned to work effectively. That, and the safety belt load limiter, which is adapted to a child with this option, will reduce the strain on a child’s neck and chest during an impact. In a side impact, the booster seat-equipped Volvo benefits from an Inflatable Curtain that has been extended downward to improve head protection for smaller, or younger children. And when you don’t need them, the booster seats disappear into the seat cushions.

Passenger airbag cut-off switch

The passenger airbag is designed to help protect an adult in a frontal collision in case of collision. But if a rearward-facing child seat is positioned in the front passenger seat, the airbag must first be disengaged to avoid the risk of serious injury. The airbag cut-off switch is positioned on the passenger end of the dashboard and can only be accessed with the door open. When the airbag is switched off, you’re notified by a message on the roof console display.

Power child safety lock

The power child lock enables you to conveniently lock the rear doors and rear power windows from the driver’s seat and prevent them from being opened from the inside.

Alarm

The alarm is connected to the doors, bonnet, boot and ignition. It also reacts to movement inside the car or the breaking of a window. A level sensor can be added to deter thieves from jacking up the car to steal your wheels or tow it away.

Remote-controlled central locking system

A touch of a button on the remote control locks or unlocks the doors, tailgate and glove compartment. Use the personal settings menu to decide if the remote unlocks the driver’s door first, or all doors at the same time. You can also close or open all windows (including the panoramic sunroof if you have one) and unlock the tailgate separately – you can access your load compartment while nobody else can open any of the doors from the outside.

Automatic door locking

To further enhance your personal security, the doors can be set in the information menu to automatically lock the moment you drive away. Alternatively, lock them swiftly from the front seats using the lock button. For your safety in the event of a collision or roll-over, your Volvo unlocks automatically to make it possible to open the doors from the outside after an accident.

Keyless start

Start your Volvo with your remote control in your pocket. As long as your remote control is inside the car, you can start the engine simply by turning the start knob on the tunnel console while depressing the brake pedal.

Keyless locking and unlocking

When carrying bags or luggage, it can be very convenient that your Volvo unlocks as soon as you approach your car and pull the door handle. No need to press the remote control button – just keep the remote in your pocket or purse. And to lock the car after you've parked, you just push the button in the door handle. In addition to ordinary remote controls, this feature also includes a very small, waterproof keyless mini remote control you can bring with you everywhere. And adding the hands-free tail gate opening function, all you need to open the tail gate is moving a foot under the rear bumper.

Global locking and closing

Forgot to close the windows? This function allows you to close all windows including the sunroof and lock the car all at once by pressing the lock button on the remote control for four seconds. Alternatively, press the unlock button for two seconds to unlock the car and open all the windows to get fresh air inside the car before entering.

Immobiliser and theft-protected locks

Not only will the door locks withstand most break-in attempts, the electronic immobiliser makes it impossible to start the car without the right remote control. And even if a would-be thief manages to get into the car via a window, the deadlock system makes it impossible to open the doors from the inside.

Keyless mini remote control

Choosing keyless locking and unlocking you also get this exquisite, very small remote control. Slip it into your pocket or wear it around your neck – it's so small you can bring it with you all the time. And you don't have to worry about swimming, surfing, yachting or any other outdoor activities: this remote is waterproof.

Hands-free tailgate opening and closing

When your hands are full after shopping, the comfort opening function of your power tailgate can make a big difference: simply move your foot under the sensor in the rear bumper, and it opens or closes automatically.

Hidden storage compartment

Under the load compartment floor you’ve got an extra space for storage. This area is easy to access via a hinged floor hatch. In addition the tailgate – just by the function of its elegant design – overlaps and locks the hatch when it's closed, preventing a smash-and-grab burglary. A moulded divider separates the storage area from the spare wheel compartment.

Welcome and Home Safe light

Enhancing security as you go to your car at night, Welcome light provides a warm reception. The parking lights, rear lights, interior lighting and ground lighting in the door handles are turned on for 30 seconds when you unlock your car with the remote control. If a door is opened, it stays on for up to two more minutes. Home Safe light is activated with the headlight stalk as you leave the car. This feature provides a low beam from the headlight to accompany you to your door, whether you’re returning home or are out on the road.

Ground lighting

Integrated in the front door handles, the ground lighting illuminates the area beneath the door handles for a welcoming feel when you approach your car at night. It also makes it easier to locate the door handle and avoid stepping into, for example, an unseen puddle of water. Ground lighting is activated when you unlock your car using the remote control. For your extra convenience, the optional LED ground lighting under the doors further illuminates the area below the open door.

Power retractable door mirrors

To protect your door mirrors from damage while the car for example is parked or driving through a car wash, press both buttons for the left and right mirror at the same time to fold them flat against the car. They can also be set to fold or unfold automatically every time you lock or unlock the car. And to facilitate parking, the door mirrors can tilt automatically (or by the push of a button) when reversing.

Laminated windows

Extremely tough laminated glass in the side windows and the rear window turns an attempted smash-and-grab into a total waste of time for the would-be thief. It also contributes to a quiet cabin. Additionally, this option includes water-repellent glass in the front side windows for improved visibility in wet weather.

Lockable wheel bolts

These provide a simple, effective way of reducing the risk of aluminium wheels being stolen. The wheel lock features one uniquely coded socket enabling only you or your dealer technician to remove the wheels.

Comfort front seats

If you prioritise maximum seating comfort, the Comfort seat design is for you. This new generation Volvo seat combines the best of our renowned ergonomics with modern Scandinavian style. New slim seat design with a completely new frame and specially-designed backsides contribute to superior seating comfort and increased legroom for the passengers in the rear seat. Providing almost endless adjustment possibilities, the standard power height adjustment can be complemented with six-way power adjustment including fore-aft and tilt, power multi-directional lumbar support, power seat cushion extensions and power backrest side bolsters. You can also choose four-way power adjustment. In other words: you can easily tailor the front seats of your Volvo to fit your body perfectly – the ergonomic controls are conveniently fitted at the sides of the seats. And to maximise your wellbeing during long drives, you can have ventilation in the seat cushion and backrest and an adjustable massage function in the backrest – extremely relaxing and comfortable.

Contour front seats

Our new generation slim Contour leather sport seats not only look fantastic. Designed to inspire dynamic driving, they also give you great side support all the way from your thighs to your shoulders. In typical Volvo fashion you’ll arrive feeling fresh, even after long stints behind the steering wheel. The power adjustable cushion extensions give excellent thigh support, even if you have long legs. And providing almost endless adjustment possibilities, the six-way power adjustment also includes fore-aft, tilt and power multi-directional lumbar support. In other words: you can easily tailor the front seats of your Volvo to fit your body perfectly – the ergonomic controls are conveniently fitted at the sides of the seats. Meanwhile, the specially-designed seat backsides contribute to increased legroom for the rear passengers.

Heated seats, front

We Scandinavians are used to snow and ice. And because we understand cold weather better than most, few cars are better equipped to deal with freezing temperatures than your Volvo. In fact, thanks to our heating systems, you may now positively look forward to your drive when the mercury drops. Take our heated seats – since they work particularly quickly, your car will be just as comfortable as your living room in no time at all, with individual three levels touch controls for the driver and front seat passenger. Back seat passengers are catered for as well, with the optional heated rear seats for the two outer positions, equally featuring three levels.

Because we Scandinavians understand cold weather better than most, few cars are better equipped to deal with freezing temperatures than your Volvo. In fact, thanks to our heating systems, you may now positively look forward to your drive when the mercury drops. Take our heated seats with heating in the seat cushions including the cushion extensions and lower backrest – since they work particularly quickly, your car will be just as comfortable as your living room in no time at all, with three levels for the driver and front seat passenger. Back seat passengers are catered for as well, with heated seats for the two outer positions on the second row of seats, equally featuring individual three-level controls.

Ergonomically designed seats

The seats in your Volvo may well be the most important ones in your life – over the lifetime of your car, you will probably spend thousands of hours sitting in them. That’s why we spent so much time developing their ergonomic sculpted design, firm yet comfortable, with supporting side cushions and ergonomic padding. Indeed, our seats are widely accepted as some of the finest in the car world. When we designed our new generation of seats, we put great effort into making the front seat backrests as slim and yet as comfortable as possible. Offering 21st-century luxury in look and feel while allowing more rear legroom, this adds to the cabin's spaciousness and airy feel without compromising on comfort. They have features like stepless lumbar support in the front seats, which allows for the tiniest degrees of adjustment for the best support for each individual. You have two exclusive front seat designs to choose from: Comfort for uncompromised comfort and Contour seats for a more dynamic experience. Add in our wide choice of options like power multi-directional lumbar support, power seat cushion extensions, power side bolsters and massage and ventilation, and you’ll have a seat you’ll never want to leave.

Power operated driver seat with memory function for seat and side mirrors

You know how frustrating it is to climb behind the wheel, only to find that a partner or colleague has adjusted the seat and door mirrors to suit their particular physique. That’s why you can electrically adjust the driver’s seat and door mirrors to your perfect position and then your Volvo saves the settings. Every time you use your remote control for the central locking, the seat and door mirrors will automatically adjust to your preferences (you get two remote controls or Personal Car Communicators with your Volvo and can order up to four more). Each remote control triggers the corresponding setting from the last time that particular remote control was used. Furthermore, you can save up to three different seat and door mirror settings by using the buttons on the front door interior panels.

Power operated passenger seat

Adding to the comfort and convenience for your front passenger, the power operated front passenger seat cushion and backrest are easily adjusted using the intuitive controls placed on the outside of the seat cushions.

Power folding outer rear head restraints

Helping to increase your field of vision when the rear seat is unoccupied, the outer head restraints can be folded forward at the push of a button from the driver's seat. In the folded position, the head restraints are designed to obstruct passengers from sitting down without raising them to their upright position. The height-adjustable rear middle head restraint can be fully retracted into the backrest to further improve rear vision.

Front seat ventilation

Ventilation in the front seats can make a big difference during long journeys on hot days. The system works by built-in fans drawing air through the perforated leather upholstery in both the cushions and seat backs. The front seat ventilation can be set to three levels. Front seat ventilation is available for the Comfort seats.

Power side bolsters

Want more side support in your power operated Comfort leather seats? The power side bolsters can be electrically adjusted for a tighter fit and enhanced side support – particularly useful for dynamic driving.

Power-operated multi-directional lumbar support

Adding to the sumptuous long-distance comfort of your Volvo, this power-operated multi-directional lumbar support for the front seats can be adjusted horizontally as well as vertically to make it easy to optimise the support to your individual needs and preferences. Standard on the Contour seat and available as option on the Comfort seat.

Front seat ventilation and massage

For the ultimate comfort experience in your Volvo, the Comfort seats are available with both a ventilation and a massage function. The seats in perforated leather are ventilated using built-in fans in the cushions and seat backs to provide extra comfort during hot days. And to really spoil you during long journeys, these seats also feature a massage function with ten massage points in the backrest. The massage function has five programs, three adjustable speeds and three adjustable intensities for you to choose from – you'll easily tailor the massage function for your individual preferences.

Power seat cushion extensions

Do you have long legs? Then you will appreciate our power seat cushion extensions. Providing efficient thigh support, they will improve your comfort. And they're extra wide to provide generous support independent of your leg positioning. Power operation makes them easy to adjust according to your needs. This convenient feature is included in the Contour seats and optional for the power operated Comfort leather seats.

Rear centre armrest with cupholders

For more comfort, the rear centre armrest can be folded down, revealing two cupholders. The rear centre armrest is available with our leather upholsteries.

Windscreen ticket holder

Conveniently positioned on the side of the windscreen, this nifty ticket holder will keep your parking tickets clearly visible and in place.

CleanZone

Our CleanZone technology is created to give you and your passengers a better and healthier interior environment with clean air and minimised amounts of interior emissions. The system continuously monitors the incoming air quality. As soon as it detects harmful substances – such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and nitrogen dioxides – it temporarily shuts off all incoming air and starts recirculating the air inside the cabin. And if the interior air quality would deteriorate – for example if a window is open –you will be noticed via a symbol in the centre display. An active carbon filter effectively filters out harmful substances like vehicle exhaust and diesel exhaust particles. It also reduces some chemical odours from the outside, for example from the windscreen washer fluid. This helps to ensure that the air you breathe in the car is clean, often cleaner than that outside when driving in heavy city traffic and tunnels. To prepare a fresh environment in your new Volvo even on a warm day, the automatic CleanZone function initiates a ventilation cycle, which is triggered when you unlock the car with your remote control. This feature is active on days when it is at least 10°C outside. The automatic CleanZone function also does a great job of venting out allergy and asthma inducing substances, especially gases and smells from new materials in your new car. This automatic function is gradually reduced during the first years of usage to finally be terminated.

Two-zone climate system

We designed our two-zone climate system to give you and your passengers the best possible interior air quality and comfort in all seasons, all temperatures and all weathers. The efficient, electronically controlled automatic system maintains the cabin temperature you choose and can be set independently for the driver and front passenger side. The automatic fan function can be set in five different levels to suit your preferences – for example, if you drive alone in good weather or carry passengers with wet clothes. Separate adjustable air vents in the roof pillars ensure that the occupants in the rear seat can enjoy a comfortable climate even during long drives. All cabin climate settings and functions are easily controlled from the front seats using intuitive touch screen controls. An efficient cabin filter helps keep the incoming air free from dust, pollen and other particles – a real benefit if you or your passengers are prone to hay fever or other allergies. And adding our CleanZone Interior Air Quality System, the climate system continuously monitors the incoming air quality. As soon as it detects harmful substances – such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and nitrogen dioxides – it temporarily shuts off all incoming air and starts recirculating the air inside the cabin. An active carbon filter effectively filters out harmful substances like vehicle exhaust and diesel exhaust particles.

Four-zone climate system

We designed our four-zone climate system to give you and your passengers the best possible interior air quality and comfort in all seasons, all temperatures and all weathers. The efficient, electronically controlled automatic system maintains the cabin temperature you choose. No matter if you're seated in the front seats or in any of the outer reat seat positions – you can set the cabin temperature and automatic fan speed individually to suit your preferences. The automatic fan function can be set in five different levels to maximise the climate comfort for each occupant. Separate adjustable air vents in the roof pillars ensure that the occupants in the rear seat can enjoy the same climate comfort as the driver and front passenger. And whether you're seated in the front or rear seat, the cabin climate settings are easily controlled using intuitive touch screen controls – via the centre display with touch screen, or via the elegant touch control panel on the back of the tunnel console. An efficient cabin filter helps keep the incoming air free from dust, pollen and other particles – a real benefit if you or your passengers are prone to hay fever or other allergies. And adding our CleanZone Interior Air Quality System, the climate system continuously monitors the incoming air quality. As soon as it detects harmful substances – such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and nitrogen dioxides – it temporarily shuts off all incoming air and starts recirculating the air inside the cabin. An active carbon filter effectively filters out harmful substances like vehicle exhaust and diesel exhaust particles. The four-zone climate system also includes air-conditioned cooling of the glove compartment – very convenient to keep drinks or other heat-sensitive stuff cool and fresh during the journey.

Pre ventilation and post climatisation

You can conveniently create a comfortable climate in your Volvo before you have entered it. To pre-ventilate the cabin within 40 minutes, the climate system fan can be started remotely from your smartphone using the Volvo On Call app or from inside the car via the centre display. If your car is fitted with a fuel-driven heater, you can start it the same way to achieve and keep a comfortable cabin temperature. In the plug-in hybrid variant, you can also start the electrically driven air-conditioning to create a cool cabin climate when it's hot on the outside. To maintain the cabin temperature after you have turned off the engine and for example are waiting inside the car, you can keep the climate system and ventilation active for up to 15 minutes – all depending on the climate and engine temperature.

Adjustable rear air vents

Air vents that are conveniently located in the door pillars at face level create a comfortable environment for rear seat passengers. They also keep ice and mist off the rear side windows, which makes for a safer journey.

Air-conditioning remote start

Imagine meeting a comfortably climatized cabin every time you get inside your Volvo Twin Engine plug-in hybrid – even if it's unbearably hot on the outside. With the air-conditioning remote start, you remotely start your car's engine and air conditioning via the Volvo On Call app in your smartphone. This cools down the cabin just in time to allow you and your passengers a comfortable start of your journey. Depending on local environment regulations, the engine running time can be set between 1 and 15 minutes.

Cabin filter

Preventing dust and pollen from entering the cabin via the ventilation system, the cabin filter is a real benefit to driver and passengers, especially those prone to hay fever or other allergies.

Dark tinted rear windows

The extra dark tinted glass for the rear windows add to the sophisticated look of your Volvo and help cut glare and keep cabin temperatures down in hot, sunny conditions.

Heat-reducing windscreen

For a more comfortable interior climate, this windscreen reduces heat radiation from the sun through the windscreen and the temperature inside the car by filtering out the sun’s heat-generating invisible infrared rays.

Panoramic glass roof

Our power-operated panoramic roof adds a superb experience of airiness and light inside your Volvo. For ventilation, the front section opens or tilts at the push of a button. A power-operated sunshade in perforated textile reduces glare on sunny days. The sunshade also maintains the airy feel inside the cabin. And when you enter your car in sunny days, the sunshade closes automatically as soon as the outside temperature reaches 25° C. Dark tinted laminated glass further increases comfort and security. And if you've forgot to close the panoramic roof after you've parked your car, it can be closed from the outside with the remote control.

Fuel-operated parking heater

A fuel-operated parking heater makes your car easier to start, warms up the cabin and helps reduce the environmental impact – a cold engine produces far more harmful emissions than a warm one, and will increase engine wear. You can start the heater directly via the centre display, or set the time you’d like to enter your warm and defrosted car. With a remote starter you can activate the heater without going out to the car. And if your car is equipped with Volvo On Call, you can start the heater using your smartphone to pre-heat your engine or warm up the cabin, without starting the engine.

Heated steering wheel

Need a little help thawing out those cold winter mornings? Just push a button and warm your hands on our heated steering wheel.

Note: R-Design steering wheel will be replaced if R-Design is chosen.

Rear door sun curtains

Even if the sun is blazing on the outside, the rear seat passengers can efficiently reduce heat and glare by pulling up the sun curtains in the rear doors. These elegant curtains are perforated to allow good vision and maintain a comfortable experience for your passengers in the rear. Smoothly integrated in the rear door mouldings, the sun curtains are out of the sight when they're not needed.

Rear window sun curtain

Elegantly integrated in the hatshelf of your Volvo sedan, this power-operated sun curtain reduces heat and glare from the sun to improve comfort for your rear seat passengers in sunny weather. The sun curtain is perforated to allow the driver good vision through the rear-view mirror. When not needed, the sun curtain is hidden into the hatshelf.

Headlamp Cleaning System

Clean headlights are a prerequisite for excellent vision and a relaxed driving experience in the dark. Our headlight cleaning uses high-pressure jets with nozzles hidden under body-coloured covers in the bumper. When activated, the nozzles pop out of the bumpers and clean the headlamps from dirt. To save washer fluid in dirty conditions, the headlamps are washed automatically at every fifth windscreen wash cycle when the windscreen washer is used more than once every ten minutes.

Glove compartment

The glove compartment is an example of clean Scandinavian design with form and function as one. The glove compartment lid is an uncluttered surface that you open by pressing a button on the centre console. No keyholes or handles, and you lock it together with the doors. It's roomy on the inside, with convenient pencil and credit card holders. Illumination makes it easy to find the stuff you're locking for. And if your Volvo is equipped with the four-zone climate system, the glove compartment is air conditioned to keep your drinks cool.

Front centre armrest and storage

Positioned between the ultra-slim front seats, the stylish front centre armrest emphasize the exclusive Scandinavian interior design with clean lines, genuine materials and superior craftsmanship. You have access to smart storage, two cupholders and a 12 V power outlet under a roll-top cover in the same material as the interior deco panels. The pull/push handle is divided to also provide a small, separate storage in front. The armrest provides generous support for both the driver and front seat passenger, and folded up it displays a generous storage compartment underneath with AUX and USB inputs to connect your external devices – such as your mobile phone – to the audio system.

Front door bins

During long journeys, the spacious front door bins add to your convenience and comfort. Here you can put the stuff you and the front seat passenger need to have easy at hand. In each of the bin there's room for a 1.5-litre bottle.

Rear centre armrest with cupholders

For more comfort, the rear centre armrest can be folded down, revealing two cupholders. The rear centre armrest is available with our leather upholsteries.

Rear seat storage pockets

Conveniently positioned on the backside of the front seats, these net pockets help to keep newspapers, magazines, books and other small items at hand for the passengers in the rear seat. Each net pocket can even store up to three 50 cl bottles.

Sensus Connect

With Sensus Connect, you connect with the digital world around you as naturally as you communicate with your Volvo. Intelligent driver interfaces – like the 8-inch digital driver display, the 9-inch centre display with touch screen, steering wheel buttons, voice control and the optional head-up display – interact intuitively to give you full control of all functions without taking your attention from the road. Via your smartphone, you have instant access to internet maps and a host of convenient in-car apps – for example to enjoy internet radio, audio books, music streaming, log-in at Facebook and browse the web. Your Volvo can even book service when it's time. This also means your Volvo already today is technologically prepared for coming web and cloud-based in-car infotainment functions. Your smartphone connects wirelessly via Bluetooth and you can enjoy audio streaming through the well-sounding High Performance audio system that's included in Sensus Connect. You can also connect your media devices physically using AUX and USB inputs. To further enhance your experience, there's a range of options to choose from. Adding Sensus Navigation will provide you with connected navigation functions and a host of convenient navigation and parking apps. If you want to operate your iPhone (5 or later) in the car's centre display using the same interface you are used to from your iPhone, there's the option of Apple CarPlay. And with Volvo On Call, you can create a stable wifi hotspot that uses the car's roof antenna for your internet-connected mobile devices – it also includes an innovative smartphone app that gives you access to a host of remote functions, such as locking/unlocking the doors, starting the engine heater or air conditioning and just checking up on your car. You can also complement your Sensus Connect with a 12-inch driver display, DAB+ radio, HD radio/Sirius satellite radio, digital TV and an extra USB input.

Sensus Navigation

With Sensus Navigation, you have all navigation facilities smartly integrated in your Volvo. For your safety, the system is easy to use without taking your attention from traffic. Sensus Navigation connects seamlessly with our cloud-based services and navigation apps. To mention a few examples, these apps can help you find and pay for parking, share your location with friends or simply find the best coffee in town. You can also use information from internet and save as points-of-interest in your navigation system. You can set destinations with voice control, or at the comfort of your home or office using your smartphone. When needed, the system is easy to upgrade – free map updates ensure you the latest available and up to date navigation experience. And adding the Volvo On Call smartphone app you can further facilitate your travel planning – you can send a destination directly from your smartphone to the Sensus Navigation system in your car. It can also connect with your personal calendar and allow you to send meeting appointment destinations to the navigation system for guidance.

Intellisafe Assist

Our Intellisafe Assist technologies take the stress out of driving without losing the fun. Adaptive Cruise Control and Pilot Assist semi-autonomous drive technology help you maintain the set speed and distance to the vehicle in front of you, as well as giving gentle steering inputs – when using Pilot Assist – to help keep you properly aligned within the lane markings during highway driving.

Intellisafe Pro

For a fully relaxed and rewarding driving experience in all traffic conditions, Intellisafe Pro features all available preventive and protective safety technologies by Volvo. Intellisafe Pro includes Intellisafe Standard plus the technologies of Intellisafe Surround and Intellisafe Assist.

Centre display

When we created the driver's environment in your Volvo, our main focus was to make it as intuitive and natural as possible. We achieved this by virtually eliminating buttons and switches and moving these controls into our new tablet-sized, 9-inch centre display with touch screen. From here, you intuitively control functions such as climate control, entertainment, navigation, the in-car apps and everything in between to make your drive easy and comfortable. The virtual buttons on the screen are dynamic– when you need the buttons, they become bigger and appear on the lower part of the screen to be easy to find and control. You can also rearrange the virtual buttons to suit your personal preferences. The vertical portrait format of the display makes it easy to use and overview. To make it comfortable and safe for you to view the display while driving, all information is presented in the upper part of the screen while the lower part is dedicated for the touch controls. This format is also convenient when you for example are being guided by the navigation system as it can display more of the road ahead. Highly advanced touch screen technology means your finger barely needs to touch the screen to activate or control a function. Some commands you can perform just by sweeping a finger or a hand across the screen – even with gloves on. Contributing to the elegant clean Scandinavian look of the cabin, the full graphical display is glossy at the same time as anti-reflective coating minimises reflections and glare. And just as with the driver display, the looks and colour scheme of the centre display can be adapted to suit your mood. In addition, the look of the display also changes depending on the drive mode you choose.

Distance Alert

Keep control of the distance to the vehicle in front and rest assured your Volvo will alert if you come to close. If the Adaptive Cruise Control is disengaged and a vehicle in front comes too close, the distance alert function activates a warning light to help you keep a proper distance. The warning light is displayed with a symbol on the windscreen if your car is equipped with the full-graphic head-up display.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Helping you to maintain your preset gap to vehicles in front at all speeds up to 200 km/h, the Adaptive Cruise Control is a supportive partner for a more relaxed driving experience on any journey. Just select the desired speed and the desired time gap to the vehicle in front. When the radar sensor detects a slower vehicle in front, the speed automatically adapts to that vehicle. And when the road is clear, the car resumes the selected speed. At speeds over 70 km/h, Adaptive Cruise Control also makes overtaking more convenient: simply turning the indicator on, Adaptive Cruise Control will briefly accelerate your car for a more efficient and fast overtaking. Whenever you want, you can also select conventional cruise control.

Rear Collision Warning with braking at standstill

Being hit by a car from behind is one of the most common types of collisions. To help you avoid this type of accidents we created the radar based Rear Collision Warning system. If a vehicle approaches fast from behind and the system calculates that there's a risk of collision, it helps alert the driver in the approaching vehicle by flashing your hazard lights at a high rate. And if a collision still can't be avoided, the Rear Collision Warning system tensions the front safety belts just before the impact to help keep the occupants safely restrained. To help reduce the strain on the occupants at the impact the system also activates the brakes if your car is at standstill.

Pilot Assist

Our new Pilot Assist semi-autonomous drive technology takes the stress out of driving without losing the fun. Already from standstill you can enjoy a smooth and relaxed drive on highways with proper road markings. Assisting you to comfortably follow the traffic flow within the current lane, Pilot Assist provides gentle steering support to help you keep the car within the lane markings while helping you keep your set speed and distance to the vehicle in front of you. Pilot Assist is easily activated via the steering wheel buttons. Steering support is initiated as soon as Pilot Assist detects the lane markings on both sides of the lane. Pilot Assist steering support is active from standstill up to highway speeds, while speed and distance support is available up to 200 km/h. You can override Pilot Assist anytime by using the brakes, pressing the accelerator or turning the steering wheel. And if you don't keep a hand on the steering wheel, Pilot Assist is automatically switched off.

Please note: The driver is expected to actively participate in the driving and remains responsible for monitoring, supervision, and over all operation of the vehicle. Semi-autonomous systems, such as Pilot Assist, are restricted in how much acceleration, braking and steering force they can apply.

Road Sign Information

With Road Sign Information you don't have to miss important road signs. A forward camera detects speed limit, "no overtaking", "no entry" and various types of supplementary signs. The actual sign is then displayed in the speedometer or in the head-up display – to help keep you constantly alert on current restrictions. If you want, it can also alert you with a visual warning if you exceed the speed limit, by flashing gently three times. This is easily set in the centre console menu. And if the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation, information about speed cameras can be displayed next to the speed limit.

Voice control

Your Volvo not only inspires your drive. It can also listen to your commands and fulfil your wishes. To control functions like the climate system, navigation, entertainment and phone, you just have to raise your voice and tell your Volvo what you want. You can talk naturally, just as you were talking to a friend – no complicated menus of words. Our voice control perfectly complements the central display and steering wheel controls, allowing you to keep the hands on the steering wheel and your attention on traffic and the road ahead.

Steering wheel controls

Every little detail in your Volvo is there for a reason – to give you a great experience and facilitate life in your car. For example, the button controls that are neatly integrated in the steering wheel design. From here you can control several functions like cruise control, phone, infotainment, trip computer and the driver information menu in the driver display – all without taking your hands off the wheel. And to make your Volvo response even more intuitively to your commands, you can use voice control that is conveniently activated at the press of a steering wheel button.

Illuminated vanity mirrors

Fitted in the sun visors for the driver and front seat passenger, lights come on when you open the vanity mirror cover – convenient and practical. Integrated ticket holders further enhance your convenience.

Automatic headlamp levelling

The light beams from the LED headlights are automatically kept at the optimum level to provide you with the best vision without dazzling other road-users, regardless of load and the amount of passengers. The system acts swiftly and will even maintain the headlight level during fast acceleration.

Power door mirrors

You easily adjust the aerodynamic yet generously dimensioned door mirrors from your position in the driver's seat. To protect your door mirrors from damage while the car for example is parked or driving through a car wash, press both buttons for the left and right mirror at the same time to fold them flat against the car. They can also be set to fold or unfold automatically every time you lock or unlock the car. To facilitate parking, the door mirrors can tilt automatically (or by the push of a button) to show you the kerb when reversing. Contributing to your safety when it's cold, the door mirrors are electrically heated together with the rear window and therefore kept free from frost. And to make sure that a following car’s headlights don’t dazzle you when driving in the dark, you can add an auto-dimming function that reduces intrusive light reflection via the door mirrors.

Power parking brake

The power parking brake is easily engaged by pulling the control upwards. You can also set the parking brake to engage automatically every time you stop the engine. It is released automatically as soon as you press the accelerator with the transmission in the DRIVE or REVERSE mode – very convenient when moving off from steep gradients. You can also release it manually by pressing the control downwards.

Power folding outer rear head restraints

Helping to increase your field of vision when the rear seat is unoccupied, the outer head restraints can be folded forward at the push of a button from the driver's seat. In the folded position, the head restraints are designed to obstruct passengers from sitting down without raising them to their upright position. The height-adjustable rear middle head restraint can be fully retracted into the backrest to further improve rear vision.

Heated windscreen

Standing outside your car scraping off the ice on a cold winter’s morning isn’t the best start to your day. Now, thanks to our heated windscreen, all you need to do is push a button. When you do, the windscreen will start de-icing immediately just like the rear window and door mirrors, and you’ll soon be on your way.

Heated windscreen washer nozzles

To give you the best possible vision even in heavy rain or snow at all speeds, extremely efficient washer nozzles are integrated into the wiper arms and apply fluid above the wiper blades. By adding heating that prevents the washer fluid to freeze in the nozzles, the windscreen can be washed even in the harshest conditions.

Speed limiter

Your Volvo can help to ensure that you do not exceed the speed limits. Set a speed limit of your choice or allow automatic setting using information from the Road Sign Information System. When you reach the set speed limit, your car will help ensure you not exceed that speed unless you depress the accelerator fully for a moment. In the driver's display, you can see the set speed limit.

Head-up display

Driving your Volvo, you never have to look away from the road. The head-up display presents the most vital driver information as it's hovering two metres in front of the windscreen. You can keep your eyes on the traffic at the same time as you, for example, get information from the navigation system. You don't have to change focus or look down, which also gives less strain on the eyes. The brightness of the head-up display adapts automatically to the light conditions, and you can set the system to suit your own personal preferences.

Park Assist Camera, rear

To further improve your convenience when reversing, the rear Park Assist Camera helps display what’s going on behind your car. Using a digital camera discretely located under the tailgate handle, it shows a wide view behind your car on the centre display. On-screen guiding lines provide extra assistance for smooth parking. You can also switch the camera to a zoomed-in view close to the car – very convenient when hitching a trailer, for example.

360° camera

With our 360° camera you can see a virtual bird's eye view of the area surrounding your Volvo. A high-resolution image is shown in the centre display and will be a great help for example when manoeuvring or reversing in tight areas with impaired visibility – you can even see what's going around the corner at a 180° side view in front or at the rear of your car. The system uses four hidden cameras: two at the door mirrors, one at the front and one at the rear. And by gently touching the camera images on the centre display touch screen, you can get a view from just that camera. The rear camera can also be switched to a zoomed-in view close to the car – very convenient when hitching a trailer, for example.

8-inch driver display

From the moment you take your position behind the wheel of your Volvo, you'll feel you're in control. In the full graphical digital driver display in front of you, all relevant driver information – including navigation directions, telephone and actual road signs – is intuitively displayed. The 8-inch display features one big central instrument that is surrounded by additional information displays. To ensure that all information is presented as clearly and comfortably for your eyes as possible, the brightness of the display adapts automatically according to the exterior light conditions. Like, for example, when the sun shines through the windows or there are lights from vehicles behind when it's dark. It also adapts when you're driving through a tunnel and at night. The driver display can also be seen by the front seat passenger. When the ignition is off, the display has a glossy black, hi-tech look to enhance the exclusive impression every time you enter your Volvo.

12-inch driver display

From the moment you take your position behind the wheel of your Volvo, you'll feel you're in control. In the full graphical digital driver display in front of you, all relevant driver information – including navigation directions, telephone and actual road signs – is intuitively displayed. Our top-of-the-line 12-inch display features two large round instruments and one central information display. Depending on how you use it, the size of the information display adapts to give you the best visual experience. For example, if you use the navigation system, that display becomes bigger and the two instruments smaller. Further contributing to your driving experience, you can choose between different looks and colour schemes to adapt the display to the mood you're in. There's a choice of four graphic display modes. In addition, the look of the display also changes depending on the drive mode you choose. The mode you select, also applies for the 9-inch centre display. To ensure that all information is presented as clearly and comfortably for your eyes as possible, the brightness of the display adapts automatically according to the exterior light conditions. Like, for example, when the sun shines through the windows or there are lights from vehicles behind when it's dark. It also adapts when you're driving through a tunnel and at night. The driver display can also be seen by the front seat passenger. When the ignition is off, the display has a glossy black, hi-tech look to enhance the exclusive impression every time you enter your Volvo.

Interior lighting

Good lighting is the key to creating the right atmosphere. This is as true in your car as it is in your home. When you unlock your Volvo, the interior light together with foot well lights and mood lights are illuminated. And when a front door is opened, light under the door illuminates the ground by courtesy to help you avoid stepping into, for example, a puddle of water. In addition, illuminated tread plates and a light guide along the dashboard and the four doors create a welcoming feel inside your Volvo. The discrete mood lights further contributes to a warm and cosy atmosphere when travelling. Front reading lamps are integrated in the roof console. The rear seat reading lamps are recessed in the roof and shaded to avoid dazzling the driver. The interior light will fade out gradually after the doors have been closed, but will switch off immediately if the ignition is turned on or the doors are locked.

Interior high level illumination

Good lighting is the key to creating the right atmosphere. This is as true in your car as it is in your home. When you unlock your Volvo, the interior light together with foot well lights and mood lights are illuminated. And when a front door is opened, light under the door illuminates the ground by courtesy to help you avoid stepping into, for example, a puddle of water. In addition, illuminated tread plates and a light guide along the dashboard and the four doors create a welcoming feel inside your Volvo. The discrete multicolour mood lights, the door pocket illumination and the interior door handle illumination further contribute to a warm and cosy atmosphere when travelling. This also makes it easy to see and find things in the dark. Front reading lamps are integrated in the roof console. The rear seat reading lamps are recessed in the roof and shaded to avoid dazzling the driver. The interior light will fade out gradually after the doors have been closed, but will switch off immediately if the ignition is turned on or the doors are locked. And to facilitate loading or unloading your car in the dark, the tailgate working light lights up when you open the tailgate.

Standard on Inscription and R-Design.

Cruise control

Conveniently operated from the steering wheel, cruise control allows you to drive in a more relaxed way without having to keep your foot on the accelerator. The car maintains the speed you choose until you turn off the cruise control or press the brake, accelerator or clutch. After braking or using the clutch, the car returns to its previous cruising speed at the touch of a button. After accelerating – for instance to overtake – your car automatically reverts to its previous cruising speed once you release the accelerator.

Trip computer

Operated via the indicator stalk, the trip computer shows current and average fuel consumption, how far the fuel will take you and average speed – helping you drive more economically.

Full-LED Active High Beam illumination

Journeys after dark have just become a lot more enjoyable and safer. Our signature design LED headlights combine an impactful look with safety and convenience. Advanced Full-LED Active High Beam illumination technology allows a supremely wide and long light pattern – the light is more than twice as strong as conventional halogen lights. And helping you to see around corners at night, the lights turn up to 30 degrees in either direction with the steering. And with this system, you don’t need to keep flicking between low and high beam, which is not only annoying – according to several studies, it’s also a major cause of night-time accidents. With our new system, your headlights stay on high beam all the time. When another car approaches from the opposite direction, the system prevents dazzling the other driver by shading out only as much of your beam as necessary – no more, no less. Still, the LED headlights will illuminate the areas around the other car with high beam. The same applies to cars in front of you. The system can even recognise pedestrians and cyclists and avoids dazzling them, too – it can keep track of ten separate objects at the same time. And because the system is intelligent, the high beam shuts off when you enter a city, but if you drive past an illuminated sign – say a filling station or supermarket – it stays on so you can see what’s coming up. This means you benefit from safety as well as convenience. During daytime, the distinctive hammer shaped light-guides not only act as daytime running lights to make your car more conspicuous – they also flash in a warm colour when indicating. And when the dipped headlights are needed for illumination, they are automatically engaged by a twilight sensor. Contributing to improved fuel economy and lower running costs, the LED lights are extremely energy efficient and last the lifetime of the car without losing any luminance.

Fog lamp with cornering function

At speeds of up to 40 km/h, the optional fog lamp with cornering function illuminates the area in which you’re turning at up to 15 degrees around the car for safer manoeuvring – for instance if you’re parking, turning into a small road or driving through a narrow gateway at night. To enhance your control during reversing in the dark, the cornering light activates on both sides to illuminate the area around your car.

Ambient temperature gauge

Monitors the outside temperature and warns you if there is any risk of black ice.

BLIS™ blind spot information system and Cross Traffic Alert

BLIS™ is a Volvo innovation that helps alert you if a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches fast from behind. The rear-mounted radar sensors cover a large area behind the car and work in various sorts of weather and light conditions, day or night. As a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches rapidly from behind, this function can alert you via a warning light in the front door posts – left and right. Together with the door mirrors, which include a wide-angle mirror on the driver side, this helps you assess the feasibility of a lane change. BLIS™ is activated once the car exceeds 12 km/h and reacts to almost any type of vehicle, including motorcycles. Reversing out of a parking space or anywhere else with restricted vision at the sides can be a tricky business. To make these manoeuvres easier and less stressful our Cross Traffic Alert uses the rear radar sensors to alert you of crossing traffic from the sides. You'll be alerted by an audible warning from the left or right rear loudspeaker and by a graphic warning in the centre display. Alerting for approaching vehicles as well as for pedestrians and cyclists, Cross Traffic Alert is especially helpful in tight and crowded areas where the side view might be limited.

Smartphone integration

Use your smartphone in a smarter way and integrate its familiar interface and functions with the centre display in your Volvo. Make calls, write messages, enjoy music and navigate easily using the touch screen, steering wheel controls or voice control. Cable connection via an additional USB port in the front centre armrest means your battery is charged and you can enjoy the highest sound quality through the audio system. Smartphone integration supports iPhone® (5 or later) as well as Android smartphones (5.0 Lollipop or later).

Park assist sensors, rear

Activated when you reverse or if the car rolls backwards with the gear in neutral, the rear park assist sensors help you when manoeuvring into tight spaces. The audio system is turned down and a pulsating sound from the rear loudspeakers increases in frequency as the car gets closer to the obstacle, becoming a continuous tone when it’s time to stop. The centre display shows a graphical top view of the car and the distance to detected obstacles.

Park Assist Pilot

Take away the fuss of parallel parking and let your car park itself. At the press of a button, Park Assist Pilot scans the parking slot using ultrasonic sensor technology. PAP alerts you if the slot is spacious enough (minimum 1.2 x the length of the car). Then just follow the instructions in the driver information display. You control the speed and direction of your car, while PAP takes over the steering until you're perfectly parked.

Driver adjustable power steering

To adapt the speed-dependent power steering characteristics to your own personal preferences, you can add driver adjustable power steering. While the steering assistance adjusts automatically depending on your car’s speed, you can choose in the centre display between three levels of overall steering feel and sensitivity – for low, medium or high steering assistance through the entire speed range.

Apple CarPlay

If you are used to iPhone you'll probably prefer to meet that interface every time you connect your iPhone to the centre display in your Volvo. With Apple CarPlay, the display of your iPhone (5 or later) with some of its apps and buttons is mirrored at the centre display. You conveniently control functions like phone and music in the familiar Apple IOS layout – either via the centre display touch screen or by Siri voice commands. You can also receive and reply to text messages using Siri voice commands. Your iPhone is connected using a cable via an additional USB port in the front centre armrest which means your battery is charged and you can enjoy a higher sound quality through the audio system.

Rain sensor

Once activated, the rain sensor can start the windscreen wipers as soon as it begins to rain or if water splashes onto the windscreen. For your convenience, it can also automatically adapt the intermittent windscreen-wiper function. Its sensitivity can be adjusted via a ring on the wiper stalk.

Daytime Running Lights with daylight sensor

With the light switch in the Auto position, the fuel-saving Daytime Running Lights are automatically activated. If the daylight becomes to dim, or if you enter a tunnel for example, a sensor will detect the changed light conditions and activate your car's headlights. They will also be activated if you turn on the windscreen wipers or the rear fog light. The system will turn the headlights automatically as well.

Automatically dimmed inner rear-view mirror

Ending the need to take your hand off the steering wheel and stop headlight beams shining in your eyes, the anti-dazzle function is stepless and returns to normal when it's no longer needed.

Automatically dimmed inner rear-view mirror with compass

Avoid being dazzled with this automatically adjusting frameless rear-view mirror. Adjusts itself to deflect the headlamp beams of the car behind you and when there's no light to dazzle you, it automatically returns to its normal setting.

To assist with navigation, compass direction is continuously displayed in the rear view mirror glass.

Inner and outer rear view mirrors with Auto Dim

The inner rear view mirror and the door mirrors dim simultaneously to help prevent you from being dazzled by the headlights of traffic behind. Once the blinding light ceases, the mirror glass reverts to normal mode automatically.

Power retractable door mirrors

To protect your door mirrors from damage while the car for example is parked or driving through a car wash, press both buttons for the left and right mirror at the same time to fold them flat against the car. They can also be set to fold or unfold automatically every time you lock or unlock the car. And to facilitate parking, the door mirrors can tilt automatically (or by the push of a button) when reversing.

Power windows, front and rear

The power windows have controls conveniently located in the door armrests. The front windows can be lowered or raised with a quick press or pull of a button, and you can lock the back windows from the driver’s seat if you’re travelling with small children. In this case, you’ll also be glad of the automatic anti-clamp protection, which will stop a window from closing on a trapped little hand.

Speed-dependent power steering

The optional speed-dependent and progressive power steering uses sophisticated, speed-sensitive technology to regulate the amount of power assistance you need while driving. At highway speeds, the steering is firm and positive. When parking or in slow traffic, the steering is light and effortless. While the steering sensitivity adjusts automatically depending on your car’s speed, you can choose in the centre display between three levels of overall steering sensitivity – for low steering effort, medium or high.

Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

With our Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System you'll be instantly alerted in the driver display if one of your tyres is low on pressure. Active at 30 km/h or more, it helps increase your safety as well as ensuring maintained comfort and handling characteristics. The system uses the car's anti-lock brake system sensors to calculate the tyre pressure.

Headlamp level adjuster

The headlamp level adjuster allows the driver to lower or raise the angle of the headlight beam by turning a dial on the instrument panel. This is particularly useful when driving at night with a full load. Applies only to halogen headlamps; the LED headlamps adjust automatically.

Sensus Connect

With Sensus Connect, you connect with the digital world around you as naturally as you communicate with your Volvo. Intelligent driver interfaces – like the 8-inch digital driver display, the 9-inch centre display with touch screen, steering wheel buttons, voice control and the optional head-up display – interact intuitively to give you full control of all functions without taking your attention from the road. Via your smartphone, you have instant access to internet maps and a host of convenient in-car apps – for example to enjoy internet radio, audio books, music streaming, log-in at Facebook and browse the web. Your Volvo can even book service when it's time. This also means your Volvo already today is technologically prepared for coming web and cloud-based in-car infotainment functions. Your smartphone connects wirelessly via Bluetooth and you can enjoy audio streaming through the well-sounding High Performance audio system that's included in Sensus Connect. You can also connect your media devices physically using AUX and USB inputs. To further enhance your experience, there's a range of options to choose from. Adding Sensus Navigation will provide you with connected navigation functions and a host of convenient navigation and parking apps. If you want to operate your iPhone (5 or later) in the car's centre display using the same interface you are used to from your iPhone, there's the option of Apple CarPlay. And with Volvo On Call, you can create a stable wifi hotspot that uses the car's roof antenna for your internet-connected mobile devices – it also includes an innovative smartphone app that gives you access to a host of remote functions, such as locking/unlocking the doors, starting the engine heater or air conditioning and just checking up on your car. You can also complement your Sensus Connect with a 12-inch driver display, DAB+ radio, HD radio/Sirius satellite radio, digital TV and an extra USB input.

Sensus Connect with High Performance

When we created the audio systems to the Volvo XC90, our focus was simply to deliver the most impressive sound in the category. Already from ground up, the vehicle architecture is designed with audio performance in mind – for example when it comes to how we fit and integrate the speakers into the car. For a really crisp and natural sound, the six-channel amplifier of the High Performance audio system delivers a total of 330 watts to ten speakers. The tweeters, woofers and mid-range speakers are separated and interact to give you and all your passengers a top quality sound experience – even if they travel in the third row of the seven-seat version. The overall sound quality and bass performance is quite simply superb, and if you want an even richer and deeper bass sound there's the option of an extremely powerful sub-woofer. This audio system is part of our Sensus Connect which also includes the 9-inch centre display with touchscreen and steering wheel controls with a scroll wheel. And if you want to watch your favourite TV shows while at standstill, you can add Digital TV for terrestrial channels.

Premium Sound by Bowers & Wilkins

In our quest for perfection, we developed our new state-of-the-art audio system Premium Sound together with the renowned high-end audio manufacturers Bowers & Wilkins. The result is simply overwhelming – the Premium Sound by Bowers & Wilkins may be the world's best sound system in the class. The numbers are impressive: one 12-channel amplifier, an astonishing 1400W output and 19 separate high-end speakers (including two automotive innovations: a unique open-air sub-woofer and a tweeter-on-top centre speaker facing the occupants for a sound that's detailed and true to life). But this audio system goes beyond figures – our sound engineers have searched obsessively for audiophile perfection. Using a radically new approach, they developed a unique room transformation technology together with the Swedish audio software specialists Dirac Research. This technology makes it possible to recreate the acoustics of a specific room inside the car. There are three room modes: "Studio" for an excellent, dry and precise listening experience, "Individual Stage" that allows you to control the acoustics and create your own sound using the centre display, and "Gothenburg Concert Hall" which recreates the amazing acoustic experience of this legendary concert hall. The result speaks directly to any music lover's soul – wherever you're seated in your XC90. The whole experience exudes quality and craftsmanship – most of the tweeter and mid-range speaker panels are in stainless steel, and the yellow speaker cones are elegantly visible through the mesh. This audio system is part of our Sensus Connect which also includes the 9-inch centre display with touchscreen and steering wheel controls with a scroll wheel. And if you want to watch your favourite TV shows while at standstill, you can add Digital TV for terrestrial channels.

Sub-woofer, open-air

Want to enjoy the depth of genuine, uncluttered bass? We designed this sub-woofer to meet the audiophile's most exacting demands on bass reproduction. Using open-air technology that allows the sub-woofer's 250 mm carbon fibre cone to pulse enormous amounts of air through an opening in the rear wheel-arch, it can deliver extremely low and undistorted bass tones (down to 20 Hz). And to save space, the sub-woofer is thin and integrated in the vehicle architecture to not encroach passenger or load space. This open-air sub-woofer is included in the Premium Sound by Bowers & Wilkins. A lower specified version is available as option for the High Performance audio system.

Steering wheel remote control

Adjust the volume, switch radio stations or play the previous or next track without taking your hands off the wheel. With illuminated buttons and an optional scroll-wheel control for intuitive use, just scroll your track lists and push to choose track.

Single CD player

This single CD player is elegantly integrated into the front centre armrest. You operate it conveniently from the centre display with touchscreen or from the steering wheel keypad. Select individual tracks or allow the CD player to select them at random. You can also play MP3 and WMA music files.

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)

With a digital radio on board, you can listen to Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) – the standard for digital radio in Europe. In countries with DAB broadcasts, you'll have access to more radio channels, improved radio reception and near-CD quality sound.

Digital TV receiver

Don’t miss your favourite TV show even if you’re in your car. Complement your Volvo with this digital TV receiver, and you can watch terrestrial TV broadcasts on the centre display when the car is not being driven. The digital TV is conveniently controlled via the touchscreen or the optional remote control.

Extra power outlet

Neatly integrated in all seat rows, the extra power outlets can provide electricity for an electric cooler box, phone charger, game console or other portable electronic devices. Adding the extra high-voltage power outlet at the back of the rear tunnel, you can also connect or charge appliances in your car, for example a laptop. For safety reasons, the power outlet is hidden behind a pull-down cover.

Folding two-split 60/40 rear seat

If you have a lot of luggage or bulky goods to transport, you conveniently fold down one or both of the split-folding rear backrests. This also allows you to carry both passengers and cargo with unimpaired comfort and safety. When folded, the backrests create a flat loading floor to facilitate loading and unloading. For extra convenience when you load your car, the rear seat backrests can be folded separately or together with a press of a button at the side of the load compartment. And to carry long objects such as a pair of skis inside the cabin, just open the hatch in the middle of the rear backrest to stow your gear.

Shopping bag hooks

After shopping, the two integrated folding hooks in the load compartment side panels will take care of up to two shopping bags. The hooks are completely flush with the side panel to not obstruct when you load or unload your car.

Power tailgate

When you for example approach your car and your hands are full, the power tailgate can be very convenient. It can be opened or closed automatically in three different ways: with the remote control, using the button on the dashboard, or by pressing a button on the tailgate. To help minimise risk of injury when closing the tailgate, sensors around the tailgate opening can detect obstructions to help avoid pinching your fingers and stop the tailgate. And if something gets in the way when opening, the tailgate stops. The power tailgate can also be programmed to open to a lower height than its maximum. This can be very useful if you for example park your car in a garage with limited roof height. For extra convenience, you can add keyless locking/unlocking that includes hands-free opening and closing of the power tailgate.

Hands-free tailgate opening and closing

When your hands are full after shopping, the comfort opening function of your power tailgate can make a big difference: simply move your foot under the sensor in the rear bumper, and it opens or closes automatically.

Load cover, automatic

Use this automatic retractable load cover to conceal your gear in the load compartment. When you lift the rear part of the load cover, it automatically slides upwards to facilitate loading and unloading with a fully retracted load cover – a feature that's particularly convenient in combination with the power operated tailgate. The load cover is colour-coordinated with the interior.

Tailgate scuff plate

The elegant stainless steel scuff plate not only protects the load compartment opening when you load or unload your car. It also adds to the stylish look and feel of your Volvo estate.

Grocery bag holder

Folds up from the load compartment floor to accommodate shopping bags or other cargo – secure with hooks and an elastic strap. When not in use, it's hidden in the floor.

Load hatch, rear seat

The load hatch behind the rear centre armrest allows you to carry long items, such as skis, inside the car and still make it possible for two rear seat passengers to ride in comfort.

Power outlet, luggage compartment

By adding a 12V power outlet in the luggage compartment, you'll easily be able to connect extra electrical equipment.

Load securing eyelets

Part of our load safety system, the four elegantly designed eyelets help you secure cargo to the load compartment floor with either load securing straps or the elastic luggage net. When not in use, they are folded flush with the surrounding space to not impede during loading or unloading. This also adds to the stylish impression of the load compartment.

Active chassis with rear air suspension

With the rear air suspension system you give your Volvo an even greater breadth of dynamic ability. Instead of the transverse composite leaf spring, this technology is based on separate air chambers for each rear wheel. Controlled by a computerised compressor, each air chamber constantly adapts to the driving conditions. Together with our electronically controlled active chassis, this gives you unique opportunities to control and adapt the suspension according to your driving desires. You can select different drive modes, all to increase the car's versatility in all road and weather conditions. In Comfort mode, the air suspension is tuned for maximum comfort, while Eco mode slightly stiffens the suspension. Dynamic mode enhances the car's sporty characteristics with firmer, more dynamic suspension. The modes are simple to switch between using the elegant and ergonomic roller control in the console between the front seats. To maintain comfort and driving characteristics in all circumstances, the air suspension constantly keeps the car at the same ride height and level regardless of the number of passengers or the weight of the cargo.

360° camera

With our 360° camera you can see a virtual bird's eye view of the area surrounding your Volvo. A high-resolution image is shown in the centre display and will be a great help for example when manoeuvring or reversing in tight areas with impaired visibility – you can even see what's going around the corner at a 180° side view in front or at the rear of your car. The system uses four hidden cameras: two at the door mirrors, one at the front and one at the rear. And by gently touching the camera images on the centre display touch screen, you can get a view from just that camera. The rear camera can also be switched to a zoomed-in view close to the car – very convenient when hitching a trailer, for example.

Trailer Stability Assist

When you are towing a trailer or caravan, the Trailer Stability Assist can counteract so-called snaking to help maintain stability. It continuously monitors oscillation tendencies and can help prevent this scenario by braking one or more wheel to compensate. If this is not sufficient, or if you ignore it, all four wheels will be braked and engine torque will be reduced. Trailer Stability Assist is active at speeds from 50km/h.

Roof rails

These smoothly integrated aluminium roof rails further enhance the dynamic design of your Volvo and make it easy to utilise Volvo's load carrying system.

Do you want an intuitive, responsive powertrain that feels like an extension of your senses? Mated to our all-new generation turbocharged four-cylinder Drive-E powertrains, this eight-speed automatic transmission ensures you're always in the right gear – whether it's for optimal engine response and driveability, or for a smooth driving experience with the highest fuel-efficiency. And offering faster and more precise gear changes in the manual mode, our gearshift paddles will add even more fun behind the steering wheel.

Six-speed manual gearbox*

For maximum driving enjoyment, the six-speed manual gearbox offers fluid and precise gear selection. The sixth gear provides relaxed cruising, improved fuel economy and lower CO₂ emissions on the motorway. And the smooth action of the clutch assures that you move off with confidence and grace.

Gearshift paddles

If you enjoy driving, our new gearshift paddles for the automatic transmission will add even more fun behind the steering wheel. They offer faster and more precise manual gear changes. And by allowing you to keep your hands on the steering wheel, they also ensure you’re always 100 per cent in control of your car. (Only in combination with a 3-spoke steering wheel)

Stop/Start technology

Imagine how much energy could be saved if every car, at every traffic light in the world, switched off its engine… Our Start/Stop technology does just that. Once your engine has warmed up, and you bring your car to a halt, the engine automatically shuts off. And the instant you press the accelerator, the engine restarts and you’re on the go. It reduces fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions by up to 8%. An extra battery ensures that all infotainment and comfort systems function as usual while the engine is off. The Start/Stop system can be deactivated in the centre display and is active between -5° and +30°C.

All-wheel Drive (AWD)

The advanced AWD technology with Instant Traction™ helps increase driving stability and traction on all road surfaces, in all weather conditions. It has an electronic management system that constantly monitors the speed of the wheels, the throttle, engine torque, engine speed and the brakes. As driving conditions change, wheels with the best grip get the most power. When a tyre loses traction, power is reduced to that wheel and instantly transferred to the more sure-footed wheels. Under normal, dry conditions practically all the power is distributed to the front wheels to minimise fuel consumption without compromising on stability. And when needed, up to 50% of the engine's power can be distributed to the rear wheels. At standstill, full all-wheel drive is always engaged to prepare for maximum traction. This facilitates take-off in slippery conditions or if you for example pull a boat trailer up a ramp.

Hill Start Assist

Hill Start Assist automatically keeps the brake pressure while you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator, so you’ll never slide backwards or stall your engine again when driving off up an incline. Hill Start Assist also works in reverse gear.

Hill Descent Control

Hill Descent Control offers a smooth and controlled hill descent on steep, rough and slippery roads. Simply push the Hill Descent Control button and the vehicle will descend using the brake system to control each wheel’s rotating speed – you are then free to concentrate fully on steering. Hill Descent Control also makes it easier to move off when towing a heavy trailer or a boat on a trailer up a ramp. The technology also works in reverse gear.

Chassis

The advanced chassis of your Volvo is designed for all-road capability and on-road precision – all to give you a car that is just as comfortable and fun to drive on challenging country roads as it is on the highway. The aluminium double wishbone front suspension provides perfectly balanced road holding and steering characteristics. The rear suspension in exclusive integral link design and a transverse light-weight leaf spring in composite material ensures superior comfort and excellent handling with neutrally balanced cornering characteristics. The high ground clearance with long suspension travel add to a very comfortable ride on all roads.

Drive modes

To adapt the engine characteristics to your preferences or driving conditions, you can add a function that allows you to choose between different drive modes for the engine, gearbox and the optional air-suspension – Comfort, Eco, Dynamic, Off road and Individual mode. Comfort mode is programmed to give you maximum comfort. Eco mode calibrates the engine and gearbox for lowest possible fuel consumption. Dynamic mode is calibrated for sporty driving, with quick engine and gearbox responses. In this mode, the digital driver display changes automatically to the Sport setting to further enhance the experience. Off road mode can be set at speeds below 20 km/h to maximise the car's performance on poor roads and facilitate driving in difficult situations. Individual mode allows you to create your own personal drive mode and save it in your remote key memory. In Eco mode, the accelerator has a softer, less responsive function and the gearbox changes up at lower engine speeds. An Eco-Coast function helps the driver utilise the car's kinetic energy, and when the accelerator is released at speeds above 65 km/h there is no engine braking and the car rolls freely while saving fuel. This mode also turns off the air conditioning and reduces other auxiliary loads to minimise fuel consumption. In the Individual mode, you can tailor your own personal drive mode and store your settings in the remote control memory. Every time you open your car with that remote, the stored driving mode is activated. Using the ergonomic roller control in the centre console between the front seats, you conveniently switch between the different modes.

Active chassis with rear air suspension

With the rear air suspension system you give your Volvo an even greater breadth of dynamic ability. Instead of the transverse composite leaf spring, this technology is based on separate air chambers for each rear wheel. Controlled by a computerised compressor, each air chamber constantly adapts to the driving conditions. Together with our electronically controlled active chassis, this gives you unique opportunities to control and adapt the suspension according to your driving desires. You can select different drive modes, all to increase the car's versatility in all road and weather conditions. In Comfort mode, the air suspension is tuned for maximum comfort, while Eco mode slightly stiffens the suspension. Dynamic mode enhances the car's sporty characteristics with firmer, more dynamic suspension. The modes are simple to switch between using the elegant and ergonomic roller control in the console between the front seats. To maintain comfort and driving characteristics in all circumstances, the air suspension constantly keeps the car at the same ride height and level regardless of the number of passengers or the weight of the cargo.

Electronic Stability Control

One of the most vital safety advances of the past decade, Electronic Stability Control helps minimize the risk of wheel spin and skids at all speeds in all conditions. And helping to minimize understeer at all speeds, it also contributes to safer and more fun cornering characteristics. The system looks at factors like what direction the car is travelling, how fast the wheels are rotating and how much steering lock is applied. Using all this information, Electronic Stability Control can detect a potential skid and take action to prevent it by reducing engine power and/or braking the appropriate wheels. It can also prevent the wheels from locking during engine braking or when changing to a lower gear in slippery conditions, using Engine Drag Control. To further reduce the risk of losing traction in emergency manoeuvres and corner with high lateral forces, the function Advanced Stability Control senses the car's roll movement and lateral acceleration. But Automatic Stability Control is also about giving you a rewarding driving experience, too, so when you’re cornering enthusiastically the car will feel even more dynamically stable. Another feature that means you’ll experience sharper turn-in to corners, less understeer, more powerful acceleration and more fun behind the wheel is our Corner Traction Control with torque vectoring. It works by braking the inside driven wheel if it starts to lose its grip through a corner, while sending the power to the outer wheel instead. Our new Understeer Control Logic is another innovative technology that further helps minimise understeer tendencies for more stable and dynamic cornering. And if you’re in the mood for a bit of performance driving, Electronic Stability Control has a Sport Mode. It cuts out the engine power reducing function and allows a controlled amount of rear wheel slip, as long as it senses that the driver is using the steering wheel and accelerator in a dynamic way and as long as it doesn’t go too far, in which case it will return to the normal Electronic Stability Control-function.

Trailer Stability Assist

When you are towing a trailer or caravan, the Trailer Stability Assist can counteract so-called snaking to help maintain stability. It continuously monitors oscillation tendencies and can help prevent this scenario by braking one or more wheel to compensate. If this is not sufficient, or if you ignore it, all four wheels will be braked and engine torque will be reduced. Trailer Stability Assist is active at speeds from 50km/h.

Driver adjustable power steering

To adapt the speed-dependent power steering characteristics to your own personal preferences, you can add driver adjustable power steering. While the steering assistance adjusts automatically depending on your car’s speed, you can choose in the centre display between three levels of overall steering feel and sensitivity – for low, medium or high steering assistance through the entire speed range.

Speed-dependent power steering

The optional speed-dependent and progressive power steering uses sophisticated, speed-sensitive technology to regulate the amount of power assistance you need while driving. At highway speeds, the steering is firm and positive. When parking or in slow traffic, the steering is light and effortless. While the steering sensitivity adjusts automatically depending on your car’s speed, you can choose in the centre display between three levels of overall steering sensitivity – for low steering effort, medium or high.

Advanced petrol and diesel engine emission control

Going into action quickly after a cold start, the advanced emission control of your Volvo eliminates between 95 and 99 per cent of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides from petrol engine exhaust gases. The Volvo Drive-E turbodiesels feature a new type of catalytic converter that, apart from reduction of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, also absorbs nitrogen oxides and converts them into nitrogen (the main component of clean air). The particulate filter removes about 95 per cent of the particles from the diesel exhaust gases.

Fuel-saving design

Better design really can make a difference. To reduce energy losses from wind and rolling resistance, we use advanced aerodynamics, lightweight materials and low friction technology. Together with our state-of-the-art engines, this adds up to lower fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions for your car.

Clean colours

To reduce usage of environmentally hazardous solvents, all Volvo exterior colours are water-based. What’s more, our painting facilities are among the cleanest in the world.

95% recyclable

At Volvo, we strive to design our cars with maximum recyclability of all materials that go into them. At least 95% of the weight of a Volvo car can be recovered and 85% can be recycled – all to help minimise our cars’ total environmental impact during their life cycle.

Alcohol lock, installation kit

Alcohol lock, installation kit is a preparation in the car that simplifies the connection of an alcohol lock. The handset must be ordered separately. It helps the driver to avoid driving under the effects of alcohol. Before starting the car, the driver blows into a hand held unit that communicates with the car’s electronic control system. The breath sample is analysed and, if the person is intending to drive leaves a sample with an alcohol content of over permitted alcohol limit, the alcohol installation kit prevents the car from being started.

Red Key

The Red Key is ideal if your older children have just learned to drive. The Red Key limits the car’s top speed to 120 km/h by default. It also limits the audio volume and sets the Adaptive Cruise Control to the longest possible distance. All this goes a long way to make you feel at peace as a parent. And even if you don’t have children, the Red Key comes in handy if you give your car to a valet, or leave it with a garage. Of course, you can adjust the Red Key’s settings as you see fit.

Apple CarPlay

If you are used to iPhone you'll probably prefer to meet that interface every time you connect your iPhone to the centre display in your Volvo. With Apple CarPlay, the display of your iPhone (5 or later) with some of its apps and buttons is mirrored at the centre display. You conveniently control functions like phone and music in the familiar Apple IOS layout – either via the centre display touch screen or by Siri voice commands. You can also receive and reply to text messages using Siri voice commands. Your iPhone is connected using a cable via an additional USB port in the front centre armrest which means your battery is charged and you can enjoy a higher sound quality through the audio system.

And adding the Volvo On Call smartphone app you can further facilitate your travel planning – you can send a destination directly from your smartphone to the Sensus Navigation system in your car. It can also connect with your personal calendar and allow you to send meeting appointment destinations to the navigation system for guidance.

Cruise control

Conveniently operated from the steering wheel, cruise control allows you to drive in a more relaxed way without having to keep your foot on the accelerator. The car maintains the speed you choose until you turn off the cruise control or press the brake, accelerator or clutch. After braking or using the clutch, the car returns to its previous cruising speed at the touch of a button. After accelerating – for instance to overtake – your car automatically reverts to its previous cruising speed once you release the accelerator.

And when the holder is not needed or if the second row of seats needs to be folded down, it is easy to remove.

Polestar Performance Optimisation

The new generation Polestar Performance Optimisations for our new Drive-E engines allows you to enjoy a faster, more precise and intuitive driving experience in your Volvo. The same holistic approach as when optimising race cars where transferred by the Polestar engineers into the new optimisations for Drive-E; our latest and most efficient powertrain ever. We have optimised five important performance areas, for example the mid-range engine performance, the gearshifts and the throttle response. Together, these improvements makes your Volvo even more dynamic and responsive to drive when you need it – traits that are equally important for all forms of active driving, regardless of whether you’re on the race track or on the open road.

Pilot Assist

Our new Pilot Assist semi-autonomous drive technology takes the stress out of driving without losing the fun. Already from standstill you can enjoy a smooth and relaxed drive on highways with proper road markings. Assisting you to comfortably follow the traffic flow within the current lane, Pilot Assist provides gentle steering support to help you keep the car within the lane markings while helping you keep your set speed and distance to the vehicle in front of you. Pilot Assist is easily activated via the steering wheel buttons. Steering support is initiated as soon as Pilot Assist detects the lane markings on both sides of the lane. Pilot Assist steering support is active from standstill up to highway speeds, while speed and distance support is available up to 200 km/h. You can override Pilot Assist anytime by using the brakes, pressing the accelerator or turning the steering wheel. And if you don't keep a hand on the steering wheel, Pilot Assist is automatically switched off.

Please note: The driver is expected to actively participate in the driving and remains responsible for monitoring, supervision, and over all operation of the vehicle. Semi-autonomous systems, such as Pilot Assist, are restricted in how much acceleration, braking and steering force they can apply.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Helping you to maintain your preset gap to vehicles in front at all speeds up to 200 km/h, the Adaptive Cruise Control is a supportive partner for a more relaxed driving experience on any journey. Just select the desired speed and the desired time gap to the vehicle in front. When the radar sensor detects a slower vehicle in front, the speed automatically adapts to that vehicle. And when the road is clear, the car resumes the selected speed. At speeds over 70 km/h, Adaptive Cruise Control also makes overtaking more convenient: simply turning the indicator on, Adaptive Cruise Control will briefly accelerate your car for a more efficient and fast overtaking. Whenever you want, you can also select conventional cruise control.

Distance Alert

Keep control of the distance to the vehicle in front and rest assured your Volvo will alert if you come to close. If the Adaptive Cruise Control is disengaged and a vehicle in front comes too close, the distance alert function activates a warning light to help you keep a proper distance. The warning light is displayed with a symbol on the windscreen if your car is equipped with the full-graphic head-up display.

City Safety

Adding to a relaxed driving experience, our standard-fitted City Safety technology always looks out for you, detects danger ahead and warns you and intervenes if necessary. City Safety uses advanced radar and camera technology to constantly scan the road ahead for moving or standstill vehicles in your direction, as well as for pedestrians and cyclists – day or night. A Volvo safety world-first, it can also detect large animals such as elk, horses and reindeer. City Safety gives you audible, visible and brake pulse warnings if you approach the vehicle in front too fast or if there are pedestrians, cyclists or large animals in your path. If you don’t react to the warning and a collision is imminent, full auto­braking is engaged to help you avoid or mitigate an impact. Simultaneously, the safety belts are prepared to help minimise the strain on your body if a collision can't be avoided. In an intersection, City Safety can also assist by braking automatically if you should turn into the path of an oncoming car – a Volvo safety world-first designed to help you avoid or mitigate this type of dangerous collision. If there is an imminent risk of a collision with a vehicle in the same direction, City Safety can reduce your speed with up to 50 km/h and thereby help avoid a collision by automatic braking. A collision with a cyclist riding in the same direction as your car can be avoided at a speed difference up to 50 km/h. At higher speed differences, the collision will be mitigated. And to help you avoid or mitigate a collision with elks and other large animals, the system can reduce the speed of your car with up to 15 km/h.

Lane Keeping Aid

Lane Keeping Aid adds convenience to motorway driving. If you get too close to if you or unintentionally cross a lane marking, it will gently steer your car back into the lane or alert with vibrations in the steering wheel. Constantly monitoring your position on the road, Lane Keeping Aid provides smooth support at speeds between 65 km/h and 200 km/h. When you intentionally cross a lane marking and use the indicator, the system will not intervene. Lane Keeping Aid is standard.

Run-Off road Mitigation

Our new Run-Off road Mitigation with steer assist technology is a Volvo safety world-first that helps prevent you from leaving the road accidentally. This function uses a digital camera to register road edges and lane markings. If you stray over the lane markings to the road edge, Run-Off road Mitigation will put you back on a safer path by actively steer your car back on the road. When needed, braking will also be activated in order to help mitigate a road departure. If the function senses an active driver behaviour, the function will not activate for a short while. Run-Off road Mitigation operates at speeds between 65 km/h and 140 km/h.

Driver Alert Control

Driver Alert Control is a nice and thoughtful way to alert you if your driving behaviour shows signs of distraction or tiredness. Active at speeds over 65km/h, a camera looks at the road ahead while Driver Alert Control checks on your steering inputs to see how they compare to your regular driving style. If it senses that you’re driving more erratically, or there are signs that you’re drowsy or distracted, it’ll give you an audible warning and a message on the instrument panel suggesting you take a break. It can also propose a nearby place to have a break. Combined with Sensus Navigation, it can also propose a nearby place to have a break.

Road Sign Information

With Road Sign Information you don't have to miss important road signs. A forward camera detects speed limit, "no overtaking", "no entry" and various types of supplementary signs. The actual sign is then displayed in the speedometer or in the head-up display – to help keep you constantly alert on current restrictions. If you want, it can also alert you with a visual warning if you exceed the speed limit, by flashing gently three times. This is easily set in the centre console menu. And if the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation, information about speed cameras can be displayed next to the speed limit.

Speed limiter

Your Volvo can help to ensure that you do not exceed the speed limits. Set a speed limit of your choice or allow automatic setting using information from the Road Sign Information System. When you reach the set speed limit, your car will help ensure you not exceed that speed unless you depress the accelerator fully for a moment. In the driver's display, you can see the set speed limit.

Run-off road protection

If a run-off road accident can't be avoided, your Volvo will prepare the front safety belts for maximum protection. Our unique run-off road protection system is a safety world first that continuously scans the road ahead. If the system spots a potential run­off scenario or collision, it automatically tightens the front safety belts electrically to help keep you at a safe position. This together with a robust body structure and the other restraint technologies, helps provide the best protection in a collision. And if the car lands heavily on impact, the specially designed front seat structure helps protect your spine. It acts as a shock absorber to help reduce the energy created by a powerful vertical impact.

Electronic Stability Control

One of the most vital safety advances of the past decade, Electronic Stability Control helps minimize the risk of wheel spin and skids at all speeds in all conditions. And helping to minimize understeer at all speeds, it also contributes to safer and more fun cornering characteristics. The system looks at factors like what direction the car is travelling, how fast the wheels are rotating and how much steering lock is applied. Using all this information, Electronic Stability Control can detect a potential skid and take action to prevent it by reducing engine power and/or braking the appropriate wheels. It can also prevent the wheels from locking during engine braking or when changing to a lower gear in slippery conditions, using Engine Drag Control. To further reduce the risk of losing traction in emergency manoeuvres and corner with high lateral forces, the function Advanced Stability Control senses the car's roll movement and lateral acceleration. But Automatic Stability Control is also about giving you a rewarding driving experience, too, so when you’re cornering enthusiastically the car will feel even more dynamically stable. Another feature that means you’ll experience sharper turn-in to corners, less understeer, more powerful acceleration and more fun behind the wheel is our Corner Traction Control with torque vectoring. It works by braking the inside driven wheel if it starts to lose its grip through a corner, while sending the power to the outer wheel instead. Our new Understeer Control Logic is another innovative technology that further helps minimise understeer tendencies for more stable and dynamic cornering. And if you’re in the mood for a bit of performance driving, Electronic Stability Control has a Sport Mode. It cuts out the engine power reducing function and allows a controlled amount of rear wheel slip, as long as it senses that the driver is using the steering wheel and accelerator in a dynamic way and as long as it doesn’t go too far, in which case it will return to the normal Electronic Stability Control-function.

Emergency Brake light

Our Emergency Brake Light helps alert vehicles approaching from behind if you are forced to panic brake. It works above 50km/h and knows the difference between normal and panic braking. If it is a panic stop, the brake lights will flash at a rate of four times per second, which will telegraph a clear message to following traffic that there’s a potential problem ahead. Once you slow to below 10km/h, the brake lights stop pulsing and your hazard lights take over.

Brake pedal release

To help reduce the risk for injuries on the right foot and leg when the foot is on the brake pedal, the brake pedal is released and moves down to the floor in the event of a frontal collision. This Volvo safety innovation is triggered by the same sensors that activate the safety belt pre-tensioners and airbags when needed.

Brakes with Hill Start Assist and Automatic Hold

In an emergency situation, the large anti-lock ventilated disc brakes of your Volvo will make all the difference. And if you find yourself travelling down a mountain road with the need to brake often and hard, you’ll welcome our brakes’ resistance to fading. But since there is always a risk of fade, your Volvo is prepared for this, too, with Fading Brake Support. This system gradually builds hydraulic brake pressure so that you always have reassuring pedal feel. But what if you find yourself having to brake in an emergency, and perhaps not applying the necessary pressure to the pedal? Well, we’ve developed Hydraulic Brake Assist, which ensures maximum braking pressure is applied hydraulically during a panic stop. Likewise, if you suddenly lift off the accelerator or sensors detect an obstacle in front of the car, Ready Alert Brakes instantly move the brake pads closer to the brake discs to reduce the braking distance. And Electronic Brake Distribution ensures that the right amount of braking goes to the front and rear of the your Volvo depending on where the load in the car is distributed and what the road conditions are. The braking system of your Volvo also contributes to your convenience when you're at standstill in different conditions. An automatic hold function ensures the brakes will be kept engaged after you have braked the car to standstill and releases the brake pedal. If the car is stopped for a longer period, the power parking brake takes over. And to make it easier and safer to starting uphill or downhill from standstill, the Hill start assist function keeps the brakes applied a short period after you have released the brake pedal until you press the accelerator – there's no risk the car will move while your foot moves from the brake pedal to the accelerator.

Automatic braking after a collision

Helping to reduce the risk for more damage and injury after a collision – like hitting other cars or people – your Volvo brakes automatically when the safety belt pre-tensioners or an airbag are activated.

Reinforced passenger compartment

Wherever you go in your Volvo, you and your passengers are surrounded by an extremely strong protective steel cage. Helping to provide maximum occupant protection in all types of collision scenarios, this safety cage is made from hot-formed boron steel – the strongest type of steel used in the car industry. In a collision, the front and rear crumple zones help to dissipate the energy of the crash to reduce the impact on those inside the car, while in a side-collision, our Side-Impact Protection System distributes the crash force across a large portion of the car’s body to further reduce your risk of injury. In the event of a roll-over, the unique roof construction helps protect the occupants. And if there's a collision or roll-over, your Volvo unlocks automatically to make it possible to open the doors from the outside.

SIPS™ side impact protection system

We developed our unique SIPS™ side impact protection system to help protect where you and your passengers are most exposed in the event of a side-collision. The steel framework of the car – including the front seat frames – is designed and reinforced to help displace the impact of a side-collision away from the occupants to other parts of the car body and help prevent intrusion into the cabin. The extremely strong side structure contains ultra-high strength steel and softer grades of steel to help withstand a severe side impact – even with a larger vehicle. The Inflatable Curtain for all the outboard occupants and the front seat side airbags interact with SIPS™ to help provide further protection. In the rear, SIPS™ and the Inflatable Curtain help protect the passengers in the outer rear seats.

Collapsible steering column

The steering column is an advanced part of the safety system, with the upper and lower sections giving way in a controlled manner in a frontal impact to help protect the driver.

Restraint technologies

In a collision, the restraint technologies of your Volvo interact to help reduce the impact. The safety belts with pre-tensioners activate within fractions of a second in the event of a collision or roll over and tighten the belt to help keep the occupants restrained. The safety belts for the front seats and the rear seat's outer positions then release a little to give less strain on the upper body. And if the car detects a situation that may be followed by a collision, such as a run-off road accident, the front safety belts retracts automatically to help maximise protection. Helping to optimise protection, the dual-stage airbags adapt the level of inflation depending on the force of the collision. The driver’s airbag also interacts with the deformation of the collapsible steering column. A knee airbag above the pedals further enhances protection of the driver. Side airbags in the front seats help reduce the risk of serious injuries in a side collision. The Inflatable Curtain helps protect the heads of both front and rear outboard occupants. It also stays inflated for several seconds to provide prolonged protection for subsequent impacts.

Side airbags

In a side-collision, the side airbags inflate instantly to help protect the chest and hip. The side airbags are located in the ideal spot on the front seatback.

Dual-stage airbags, driver and front passenger

In a frontal collision, the driver and passenger airbags help protect your head, face and chest. But because no two collisions are the same, the airbags adapt the level of inflation depending on the force of the impact. The driver’s airbag also interacts with the deformation of the collapsible steering column. And if the impact is low enough that the airbags aren’t needed, the system will just deploy safety belt pre-tensioners if necessary.

Inflatable Curtain

In a frontal offset collision, a side impact or a roll­over accident the Inflatable Curtain (IC) helps protect the heads of both front and rear passengers who are sitting on the sides. It also stays inflated for several seconds to provide prolonged protection in the event of secondary impacts.

Head restraints

The head restraints of your Volvo help offer outstanding protection regardless of a person’s height, whether they are seated in the front or the rear. And the rear middle head restraint can be fully retracted into the backrest to improve the driver’s rearward visibility. It’s designed to obstruct taller passengers from sitting down without raising the restraint to its upright position. The outer head restraints can fold forward at the press of a button (optional) to further improve rear vision. In the folded position, they too are designed to obstruct passengers from sitting down without raising the restraints to their upright position.

WHIPS™ whiplash injury protection system

Our advanced WHIPS™ whiplash injury protection system incorporates the complete backrests and head restraints to help protect the driver and front seat passenger from whiplash injury if the car is hit from behind. During a rear impact, the WHIPS™ system moves the entire seatback with the passenger or driver while the head restraint remains rigid to support the neck. A unique Volvo design.

Protective front seats with energy absorbing seat cushions

The front seats in your Volvo not only provide relaxing comfort for hours of driving. They are also designed to help protect you in the event of an accident. The seat frames are part of the protective body structure and are extremely strong to help protect in a side-impact. Integrated anti-submarining protection helps reduce the risk of sliding under the safety belt in a collision. And to help protect your spine if the car lands hard in the terrain after an accident, the front seat frame and cushions have a completely new design that enables them to absorb severe energy loads.

Prepared front safety belts

Your Volvo continuously scans the road and behind. If it spots a traffic situation, a critical manoeuver such as a panic braking or an obstacle that could result in a collision, the front seat safety belts are tightened electrically to help provide maximum protection in the event of an accident. The front safety belts are also tightened if the car runs off the road in rough terrain, into a ditch or gets airborne. This together with a robust body structure and the other restraint technologies gives the best protection in a collision. If a collision is avoided, the front safety belts unroll again without needing to be serviced.

Safety belts with pre-tensioners and load limiters

Three-point safety belts are the first line of defence when it comes to help protecting people during a crash. That’s why we introduced them in 1959. We also invented the audible and visual safety belt reminder and today, everybody in the car is reminded to fasten their safety belts before moving off. And in the information display on the instrument panel, you can check that the rear seat passengers have all fastened their safety belts and that nobody unfastens them during the trip. Pre-tensioners activate to tighten the belts within fractions of a second in the event of a collision. The safety belts for the front seats and the rear seat's outer positions then release a little to give less strain on the upper body. This also gives optimal belt pressure reduction for children at the rear seat's outer positions and at the integrated booster cushion. This also means that the driver and front passenger are cushioned by the airbags in a controlled fashion. If your Volvo senses a critical traffic situation that could result in a run-off scenario or a collision, our prepared front safety belts automatically tightens the front safety belts electrically to help provide maximum protection in the event of an accident.

Energy-absorbing interior

All the panels and door sides are padded with energy-absorbing materials to help reduce the risk of injury to the car’s passengers.

Warning triangle

This lightweight wide-angle reflector stands upright to alert other road users even in strong winds and on slippery surfaces. It folds easily and stores in its own case.

First-aid kit

The first-aid kit is conveniently carried in the load compartment and contains a variety of bandages. The contents are stored in different compartments to make it easier to find what you need in an emergency.

BLIS™ blind spot information system and Cross Traffic Alert

BLIS™ is a Volvo innovation that helps alert you if a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches fast from behind. The rear-mounted radar sensors cover a large area behind the car and work in various sorts of weather and light conditions, day or night. As a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches rapidly from behind, this function can alert you via a warning light in the front door posts – left and right. Together with the door mirrors, which include a wide-angle mirror on the driver side, this helps you assess the feasibility of a lane change. BLIS™ is activated once the car exceeds 12 km/h and reacts to almost any type of vehicle, including motorcycles. Reversing out of a parking space or anywhere else with restricted vision at the sides can be a tricky business. To make these manoeuvres easier and less stressful our Cross Traffic Alert uses the rear radar sensors to alert you of crossing traffic from the sides. You'll be alerted by an audible warning from the left or right rear loudspeaker and by a graphic warning in the centre display. Alerting for approaching vehicles as well as for pedestrians and cyclists, Cross Traffic Alert is especially helpful in tight and crowded areas where the side view might be limited.

Rear Collision Warning with braking at standstill

Being hit by a car from behind is one of the most common types of collisions. To help you avoid this type of accidents we created the radar based Rear Collision Warning system. If a vehicle approaches fast from behind and the system calculates that there's a risk of collision, it helps alert the driver in the approaching vehicle by flashing your hazard lights at a high rate. And if a collision still can't be avoided, the Rear Collision Warning system tensions the front safety belts just before the impact to help keep the occupants safely restrained. To help reduce the strain on the occupants at the impact the system also activates the brakes if your car is at standstill.

Power parking brake

The power parking brake is easily engaged by pulling the control upwards. You can also set the parking brake to engage automatically every time you stop the engine. It is released automatically as soon as you press the accelerator with the transmission in the DRIVE or REVERSE mode – very convenient when moving off from steep gradients. You can also release it manually by pressing the control downwards.

Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

With our Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System you'll be instantly alerted in the driver display if one of your tyres is low on pressure. Active at 30 km/h or more, it helps increase your safety as well as ensuring maintained comfort and handling characteristics. The system uses the car's anti-lock brake system sensors to calculate the tyre pressure.

Inner and outer rear view mirrors with Auto Dim

The inner rear view mirror and the door mirrors dim simultaneously to help prevent you from being dazzled by the headlights of traffic behind. Once the blinding light ceases, the mirror glass reverts to normal mode automatically.

LED illumination

Journeys after dark have just become a lot more enjoyable and safer. Our signature design LED headlights combine an impactful look with safety and convenience. LED illumination technology allows a supremely wide and long light pattern – the light is more than twice as strong as conventional halogen lights. During daytime, the distinctive hammer shaped light-guides not only act as daytime running lights to make your car more conspicuous – they also flash in a warm colour when indicating. And when the dipped headlights are needed for illumination, they are automatically engaged by a twilight sensor. Contributing to improved fuel economy and lower running costs, the LED lights are extremely energy efficient and last the lifetime of the car without losing any luminance.

Full-LED Active High Beam illumination

Journeys after dark have just become a lot more enjoyable and safer. Our signature design LED headlights combine an impactful look with safety and convenience. Advanced Full-LED Active High Beam illumination technology allows a supremely wide and long light pattern – the light is more than twice as strong as conventional halogen lights. And helping you to see around corners at night, the lights turn up to 30 degrees in either direction with the steering. And with this system, you don’t need to keep flicking between low and high beam, which is not only annoying – according to several studies, it’s also a major cause of night-time accidents. With our new system, your headlights stay on high beam all the time. When another car approaches from the opposite direction, the system prevents dazzling the other driver by shading out only as much of your beam as necessary – no more, no less. Still, the LED headlights will illuminate the areas around the other car with high beam. The same applies to cars in front of you. The system can even recognise pedestrians and cyclists and avoids dazzling them, too – it can keep track of ten separate objects at the same time. And because the system is intelligent, the high beam shuts off when you enter a city, but if you drive past an illuminated sign – say a filling station or supermarket – it stays on so you can see what’s coming up. This means you benefit from safety as well as convenience. During daytime, the distinctive hammer shaped light-guides not only act as daytime running lights to make your car more conspicuous – they also flash in a warm colour when indicating. And when the dipped headlights are needed for illumination, they are automatically engaged by a twilight sensor. Contributing to improved fuel economy and lower running costs, the LED lights are extremely energy efficient and last the lifetime of the car without losing any luminance.

Halogen illumination

Journeys after dark have become a lot more enjoyable – and safer – thanks to our Active High Beam technology. With this system, you don’t need to keep flicking between dipped and full beam, which is not only annoying – according to several studies, it’s also a major cause of night-time accidents. Employing camera technology, AHB recognises the headlight beam of on-coming vehicles and automatically shifts between high and low beam to optimise your vision without dazzling other drivers. And because the system is intelligent, the high beam shuts off when you enter a city, but if you drive past an illuminated sign – say a filling station or supermarket – it stays on so you can see what’s coming up. This means you benefit from safety as well as convenience.

Fog lamp with cornering function

At speeds of up to 40 km/h, the optional fog lamp with cornering function illuminates the area in which you’re turning at up to 15 degrees around the car for safer manoeuvring – for instance if you’re parking, turning into a small road or driving through a narrow gateway at night. To enhance your control during reversing in the dark, the cornering light activates on both sides to illuminate the area around your car.

Integrated booster cushions, two-stage

With our integrated child booster cushions you'll easily provide safe and comfortable seating for children that have grown out of the conventional child seat. The children will be seated at the correct height for the safety belts to help provide optimum protection, while they can enjoy a better view during the ride. Our integrated child booster cushion features a choice of two heights, so smaller children can sit higher for a better view out. And that adjustable height also means that the safety belts are always positioned to work effectively. That, and the safety belt load limiter, which is adapted to a child with this option, will reduce the strain on a child’s neck and chest during an impact. In a side impact, the booster seat-equipped Volvo benefits from an Inflatable Curtain that has been extended downward to improve head protection for smaller, or younger children. And when you don’t need them, the booster seats disappear into the seat cushions.

Passenger airbag cut-off switch

The passenger airbag is designed to help protect an adult in a frontal collision in case of collision. But if a rearward-facing child seat is positioned in the front passenger seat, the airbag must first be disengaged to avoid the risk of serious injury. The airbag cut-off switch is positioned on the passenger end of the dashboard and can only be accessed with the door open. When the airbag is switched off, you’re notified by a message on the roof console display.

Power child safety lock

The power child lock enables you to conveniently lock the rear doors and rear power windows from the driver’s seat and prevent them from being opened from the inside.

Alarm

The alarm is connected to the doors, bonnet, boot and ignition. It also reacts to movement inside the car or the breaking of a window. A level sensor can be added to deter thieves from jacking up the car to steal your wheels or tow it away.

Remote-controlled central locking system

A touch of a button on the remote control locks or unlocks the doors, tailgate and glove compartment. Use the personal settings menu to decide if the remote unlocks the driver’s door first, or all doors at the same time. You can also close or open all windows (including the panoramic sunroof if you have one) and unlock the tailgate separately – you can access your load compartment while nobody else can open any of the doors from the outside.

Automatic door locking

To further enhance your personal security, the doors can be set in the information menu to automatically lock the moment you drive away. Alternatively, lock them swiftly from the front seats using the lock button. For your safety in the event of a collision or roll-over, your Volvo unlocks automatically to make it possible to open the doors from the outside after an accident.

Keyless start

Start your Volvo with your remote control in your pocket. As long as your remote control is inside the car, you can start the engine simply by turning the start knob on the tunnel console while depressing the brake pedal.

Keyless locking and unlocking

When carrying bags or luggage, it can be very convenient that your Volvo unlocks as soon as you approach your car and pull the door handle. No need to press the remote control button – just keep the remote in your pocket or purse. And to lock the car after you've parked, you just push the button in the door handle. In addition to ordinary remote controls, this feature also includes a very small, waterproof keyless mini remote control you can bring with you everywhere. And adding the hands-free tail gate opening function, all you need to open the tail gate is moving a foot under the rear bumper.

Global locking and closing

Forgot to close the windows? This function allows you to close all windows including the sunroof and lock the car all at once by pressing the lock button on the remote control for four seconds. Alternatively, press the unlock button for two seconds to unlock the car and open all the windows to get fresh air inside the car before entering.

Immobiliser and theft-protected locks

Not only will the door locks withstand most break-in attempts, the electronic immobiliser makes it impossible to start the car without the right remote control. And even if a would-be thief manages to get into the car via a window, the deadlock system makes it impossible to open the doors from the inside.

Keyless mini remote control

Choosing keyless locking and unlocking you also get this exquisite, very small remote control. Slip it into your pocket or wear it around your neck – it's so small you can bring it with you all the time. And you don't have to worry about swimming, surfing, yachting or any other outdoor activities: this remote is waterproof.

Hands-free tailgate opening and closing

When your hands are full after shopping, the comfort opening function of your power tailgate can make a big difference: simply move your foot under the sensor in the rear bumper, and it opens or closes automatically.

Hidden storage compartment

Under the load compartment floor you’ve got an extra space for storage. This area is easy to access via a hinged floor hatch. In addition the tailgate – just by the function of its elegant design – overlaps and locks the hatch when it's closed, preventing a smash-and-grab burglary. A moulded divider separates the storage area from the spare wheel compartment.

Welcome and Home Safe light

Enhancing security as you go to your car at night, Welcome light provides a warm reception. The parking lights, rear lights, interior lighting and ground lighting in the door handles are turned on for 30 seconds when you unlock your car with the remote control. If a door is opened, it stays on for up to two more minutes. Home Safe light is activated with the headlight stalk as you leave the car. This feature provides a low beam from the headlight to accompany you to your door, whether you’re returning home or are out on the road.

Ground lighting

Integrated in the front door handles, the ground lighting illuminates the area beneath the door handles for a welcoming feel when you approach your car at night. It also makes it easier to locate the door handle and avoid stepping into, for example, an unseen puddle of water. Ground lighting is activated when you unlock your car using the remote control. For your extra convenience, the optional LED ground lighting under the doors further illuminates the area below the open door.

Power retractable door mirrors

To protect your door mirrors from damage while the car for example is parked or driving through a car wash, press both buttons for the left and right mirror at the same time to fold them flat against the car. They can also be set to fold or unfold automatically every time you lock or unlock the car. And to facilitate parking, the door mirrors can tilt automatically (or by the push of a button) when reversing.

Laminated windows

Extremely tough laminated glass in the side windows and the rear window turns an attempted smash-and-grab into a total waste of time for the would-be thief. It also contributes to a quiet cabin. Additionally, this option includes water-repellent glass in the front side windows for improved visibility in wet weather.

Lockable wheel bolts

These provide a simple, effective way of reducing the risk of aluminium wheels being stolen. The wheel lock features one uniquely coded socket enabling only you or your dealer technician to remove the wheels.

Ergonomically designed seats

The seats in your Volvo may well be the most important ones in your life – over the lifetime of your car, you will probably spend thousands of hours sitting in them. That’s why we spent so much time developing their ergonomic sculpted design, firm yet comfortable, with supporting side cushions and ergonomic padding. Indeed, our seats are widely accepted as some of the finest in the car world. When we designed our new generation of seats, we put great effort into making the front seat backrests as slim and yet as comfortable as possible. Offering 21st-century luxury in look and feel while allowing more rear legroom, this adds to the cabin's spaciousness and airy feel without compromising on comfort. They have features like stepless lumbar support in the front seats, which allows for the tiniest degrees of adjustment for the best support for each individual. You have two exclusive front seat designs to choose from: Comfort for uncompromised comfort and Contour seats for a more dynamic experience. Add in our wide choice of options like power multi-directional lumbar support, power seat cushion extensions, power side bolsters and massage and ventilation, and you’ll have a seat you’ll never want to leave.

Power operated driver seat with memory function for seat and side mirrors

You know how frustrating it is to climb behind the wheel, only to find that a partner or colleague has adjusted the seat and door mirrors to suit their particular physique. That’s why you can electrically adjust the driver’s seat and door mirrors to your perfect position and then your Volvo saves the settings. Every time you use your remote control for the central locking, the seat and door mirrors will automatically adjust to your preferences (you get two remote controls or Personal Car Communicators with your Volvo and can order up to four more). Each remote control triggers the corresponding setting from the last time that particular remote control was used. Furthermore, you can save up to three different seat and door mirror settings by using the buttons on the front door interior panels.

Power operated passenger seat

Adding to the comfort and convenience for your front passenger, the power operated front passenger seat cushion and backrest are easily adjusted using the intuitive controls placed on the outside of the seat cushions.

Power folding outer rear head restraints

Helping to increase your field of vision when the rear seat is unoccupied, the outer head restraints can be folded forward at the push of a button from the driver's seat. In the folded position, the head restraints are designed to obstruct passengers from sitting down without raising them to their upright position. The height-adjustable rear middle head restraint can be fully retracted into the backrest to further improve rear vision.

Front seat ventilation

Ventilation in the front seats can make a big difference during long journeys on hot days. The system works by built-in fans drawing air through the perforated leather upholstery in both the cushions and seat backs. The front seat ventilation can be set to three levels. Front seat ventilation is available for the Comfort seats.

Power side bolsters

Want more side support in your power operated Comfort leather seats? The power side bolsters can be electrically adjusted for a tighter fit and enhanced side support – particularly useful for dynamic driving.

Fine Nappa Leather Perforated Blond in Blond/Charcoal interior (WC00)

CleanZone

Our CleanZone technology is created to give you and your passengers a better and healthier interior environment with clean air and minimised amounts of interior emissions. The system continuously monitors the incoming air quality. As soon as it detects harmful substances – such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and nitrogen dioxides – it temporarily shuts off all incoming air and starts recirculating the air inside the cabin. And if the interior air quality would deteriorate – for example if a window is open –you will be noticed via a symbol in the centre display. An active carbon filter effectively filters out harmful substances like vehicle exhaust and diesel exhaust particles. It also reduces some chemical odours from the outside, for example from the windscreen washer fluid. This helps to ensure that the air you breathe in the car is clean, often cleaner than that outside when driving in heavy city traffic and tunnels. To prepare a fresh environment in your new Volvo even on a warm day, the automatic CleanZone function initiates a ventilation cycle, which is triggered when you unlock the car with your remote control. This feature is active on days when it is at least 10°C outside. The automatic CleanZone function also does a great job of venting out allergy and asthma inducing substances, especially gases and smells from new materials in your new car. This automatic function is gradually reduced during the first years of usage to finally be terminated.

Two-zone climate system

We designed our two-zone climate system to give you and your passengers the best possible interior air quality and comfort in all seasons, all temperatures and all weathers. The efficient, electronically controlled automatic system maintains the cabin temperature you choose and can be set independently for the driver and front passenger side. The automatic fan function can be set in five different levels to suit your preferences – for example, if you drive alone in good weather or carry passengers with wet clothes. Separate adjustable air vents in the roof pillars ensure that the occupants in the rear seat can enjoy a comfortable climate even during long drives. All cabin climate settings and functions are easily controlled from the front seats using intuitive touch screen controls. An efficient cabin filter helps keep the incoming air free from dust, pollen and other particles – a real benefit if you or your passengers are prone to hay fever or other allergies. And adding our CleanZone Interior Air Quality System, the climate system continuously monitors the incoming air quality. As soon as it detects harmful substances – such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and nitrogen dioxides – it temporarily shuts off all incoming air and starts recirculating the air inside the cabin. An active carbon filter effectively filters out harmful substances like vehicle exhaust and diesel exhaust particles.

Four-zone climate system

We designed our four-zone climate system to give you and your passengers the best possible interior air quality and comfort in all seasons, all temperatures and all weathers. The efficient, electronically controlled automatic system maintains the cabin temperature you choose. No matter if you're seated in the front seats or in any of the outer reat seat positions – you can set the cabin temperature and automatic fan speed individually to suit your preferences. The automatic fan function can be set in five different levels to maximise the climate comfort for each occupant. Separate adjustable air vents in the roof pillars ensure that the occupants in the rear seat can enjoy the same climate comfort as the driver and front passenger. And whether you're seated in the front or rear seat, the cabin climate settings are easily controlled using intuitive touch screen controls – via the centre display with touch screen, or via the elegant touch control panel on the back of the tunnel console. An efficient cabin filter helps keep the incoming air free from dust, pollen and other particles – a real benefit if you or your passengers are prone to hay fever or other allergies. And adding our CleanZone Interior Air Quality System, the climate system continuously monitors the incoming air quality. As soon as it detects harmful substances – such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and nitrogen dioxides – it temporarily shuts off all incoming air and starts recirculating the air inside the cabin. An active carbon filter effectively filters out harmful substances like vehicle exhaust and diesel exhaust particles. The four-zone climate system also includes air-conditioned cooling of the glove compartment – very convenient to keep drinks or other heat-sensitive stuff cool and fresh during the journey.

Pre ventilation and post climatisation

You can conveniently create a comfortable climate in your Volvo before you have entered it. To pre-ventilate the cabin within 40 minutes, the climate system fan can be started remotely from your smartphone using the Volvo On Call app or from inside the car via the centre display. If your car is fitted with a fuel-driven heater, you can start it the same way to achieve and keep a comfortable cabin temperature. In the plug-in hybrid variant, you can also start the electrically driven air-conditioning to create a cool cabin climate when it's hot on the outside. To maintain the cabin temperature after you have turned off the engine and for example are waiting inside the car, you can keep the climate system and ventilation active for up to 15 minutes – all depending on the climate and engine temperature.

Adjustable rear air vents

Air vents that are conveniently located in the door pillars at face level create a comfortable environment for rear seat passengers. They also keep ice and mist off the rear side windows, which makes for a safer journey.

Air-conditioning remote start

Imagine meeting a comfortably climatized cabin every time you get inside your Volvo Twin Engine plug-in hybrid – even if it's unbearably hot on the outside. With the air-conditioning remote start, you remotely start your car's engine and air conditioning via the Volvo On Call app in your smartphone. This cools down the cabin just in time to allow you and your passengers a comfortable start of your journey. Depending on local environment regulations, the engine running time can be set between 1 and 15 minutes.

Cabin filter

Preventing dust and pollen from entering the cabin via the ventilation system, the cabin filter is a real benefit to driver and passengers, especially those prone to hay fever or other allergies.

Dark tinted rear windows

The extra dark tinted glass for the rear windows add to the sophisticated look of your Volvo and help cut glare and keep cabin temperatures down in hot, sunny conditions.

Heat-reducing windscreen

For a more comfortable interior climate, this windscreen reduces heat radiation from the sun through the windscreen and the temperature inside the car by filtering out the sun’s heat-generating invisible infrared rays.

Panoramic glass roof

Our power-operated panoramic roof adds a superb experience of airiness and light inside your Volvo. For ventilation, the front section opens or tilts at the push of a button. A power-operated sunshade in perforated textile reduces glare on sunny days. The sunshade also maintains the airy feel inside the cabin. And when you enter your car in sunny days, the sunshade closes automatically as soon as the outside temperature reaches 25° C. Dark tinted laminated glass further increases comfort and security. And if you've forgot to close the panoramic roof after you've parked your car, it can be closed from the outside with the remote control.

Fuel-operated parking heater

A fuel-operated parking heater makes your car easier to start, warms up the cabin and helps reduce the environmental impact – a cold engine produces far more harmful emissions than a warm one, and will increase engine wear. You can start the heater directly via the centre display, or set the time you’d like to enter your warm and defrosted car. With a remote starter you can activate the heater without going out to the car. And if your car is equipped with Volvo On Call, you can start the heater using your smartphone to pre-heat your engine or warm up the cabin, without starting the engine.

Standing outside your car scraping off the ice on a cold winter’s morning isn’t the best start to your day. Now, thanks to our heated windscreen, all you need to do is push a button. When you do, the windscreen will start de-icing immediately just like the rear window and door mirrors, and you’ll soon be on your way.

Heated steering wheel

Need a little help thawing out those cold winter mornings? Just push a button and warm your hands on our heated steering wheel.

Note: R-Design steering wheel will be replaced if R-Design is chosen.

Rear door sun curtains

Even if the sun is blazing on the outside, the rear seat passengers can efficiently reduce heat and glare by pulling up the sun curtains in the rear doors. These elegant curtains are perforated to allow good vision and maintain a comfortable experience for your passengers in the rear. Smoothly integrated in the rear door mouldings, the sun curtains are out of the sight when they're not needed.

Rear window sun curtain

Elegantly integrated in the hatshelf of your Volvo sedan, this power-operated sun curtain reduces heat and glare from the sun to improve comfort for your rear seat passengers in sunny weather. The sun curtain is perforated to allow the driver good vision through the rear-view mirror. When not needed, the sun curtain is hidden into the hatshelf.

Headlamp Cleaning System

Clean headlights are a prerequisite for excellent vision and a relaxed driving experience in the dark. Our headlight cleaning uses high-pressure jets with nozzles hidden under body-coloured covers in the bumper. When activated, the nozzles pop out of the bumpers and clean the headlamps from dirt. To save washer fluid in dirty conditions, the headlamps are washed automatically at every fifth windscreen wash cycle when the windscreen washer is used more than once every ten minutes.

Glove compartment

The glove compartment is an example of clean Scandinavian design with form and function as one. The glove compartment lid is an uncluttered surface that you open by pressing a button on the centre console. No keyholes or handles, and you lock it together with the doors. It's roomy on the inside, with convenient pencil and credit card holders. Illumination makes it easy to find the stuff you're locking for. And if your Volvo is equipped with the four-zone climate system, the glove compartment is air conditioned to keep your drinks cool.

Front centre armrest and storage

Positioned between the ultra-slim front seats, the stylish front centre armrest emphasize the exclusive Scandinavian interior design with clean lines, genuine materials and superior craftsmanship. You have access to smart storage, two cupholders and a 12 V power outlet under a roll-top cover in the same material as the interior deco panels. The pull/push handle is divided to also provide a small, separate storage in front. The armrest provides generous support for both the driver and front seat passenger, and folded up it displays a generous storage compartment underneath with AUX and USB inputs to connect your external devices – such as your mobile phone – to the audio system.

Front door bins

During long journeys, the spacious front door bins add to your convenience and comfort. Here you can put the stuff you and the front seat passenger need to have easy at hand. In each of the bin there's room for a 1.5-litre bottle.

Rear centre armrest with cupholders

For more comfort, the rear centre armrest can be folded down, revealing two cupholders. The rear centre armrest is available with our leather upholsteries.

Rear seat storage pockets

Conveniently positioned on the backside of the front seats, these net pockets help to keep newspapers, magazines, books and other small items at hand for the passengers in the rear seat. Each net pocket can even store up to three 50 cl bottles.

Sensus Connect

With Sensus Connect, you connect with the digital world around you as naturally as you communicate with your Volvo. Intelligent driver interfaces – like the 8-inch digital driver display, the 9-inch centre display with touch screen, steering wheel buttons, voice control and the optional head-up display – interact intuitively to give you full control of all functions without taking your attention from the road. Via your smartphone, you have instant access to internet maps and a host of convenient in-car apps – for example to enjoy internet radio, audio books, music streaming, log-in at Facebook and browse the web. Your Volvo can even book service when it's time. This also means your Volvo already today is technologically prepared for coming web and cloud-based in-car infotainment functions. Your smartphone connects wirelessly via Bluetooth and you can enjoy audio streaming through the well-sounding High Performance audio system that's included in Sensus Connect. You can also connect your media devices physically using AUX and USB inputs. To further enhance your experience, there's a range of options to choose from. Adding Sensus Navigation will provide you with connected navigation functions and a host of convenient navigation and parking apps. If you want to operate your iPhone (5 or later) in the car's centre display using the same interface you are used to from your iPhone, there's the option of Apple CarPlay. And with Volvo On Call, you can create a stable wifi hotspot that uses the car's roof antenna for your internet-connected mobile devices – it also includes an innovative smartphone app that gives you access to a host of remote functions, such as locking/unlocking the doors, starting the engine heater or air conditioning and just checking up on your car. You can also complement your Sensus Connect with a 12-inch driver display, DAB+ radio, HD radio/Sirius satellite radio, digital TV and an extra USB input.

Sensus Navigation

With Sensus Navigation, you have all navigation facilities smartly integrated in your Volvo. For your safety, the system is easy to use without taking your attention from traffic. Sensus Navigation connects seamlessly with our cloud-based services and navigation apps. To mention a few examples, these apps can help you find and pay for parking, share your location with friends or simply find the best coffee in town. You can also use information from internet and save as points-of-interest in your navigation system. You can set destinations with voice control, or at the comfort of your home or office using your smartphone.

And adding the Volvo On Call smartphone app you can further facilitate your travel planning – you can send a destination directly from your smartphone to the Sensus Navigation system in your car. It can also connect with your personal calendar and allow you to send meeting appointment destinations to the navigation system for guidance.

Intellisafe Assist

Our Intellisafe Assist technologies take the stress out of driving without losing the fun. Adaptive Cruise Control and Pilot Assist semi-autonomous drive technology help you maintain the set speed and distance to the vehicle in front of you, as well as giving gentle steering inputs – when using Pilot Assist – to help keep you properly aligned within the lane markings during highway driving.

Intellisafe Pro

For a fully relaxed and rewarding driving experience in all traffic conditions, Intellisafe Pro features all available preventive and protective safety technologies by Volvo. Intellisafe Pro includes Intellisafe Standard plus the technologies of Intellisafe Surround and Intellisafe Assist.

Centre display

When we created the driver's environment in your Volvo, our main focus was to make it as intuitive and natural as possible. We achieved this by virtually eliminating buttons and switches and moving these controls into our new tablet-sized, 9-inch centre display with touch screen. From here, you intuitively control functions such as climate control, entertainment, navigation, the in-car apps and everything in between to make your drive easy and comfortable. The virtual buttons on the screen are dynamic– when you need the buttons, they become bigger and appear on the lower part of the screen to be easy to find and control. You can also rearrange the virtual buttons to suit your personal preferences. The vertical portrait format of the display makes it easy to use and overview. To make it comfortable and safe for you to view the display while driving, all information is presented in the upper part of the screen while the lower part is dedicated for the touch controls. This format is also convenient when you for example are being guided by the navigation system as it can display more of the road ahead. Highly advanced touch screen technology means your finger barely needs to touch the screen to activate or control a function. Some commands you can perform just by sweeping a finger or a hand across the screen – even with gloves on. Contributing to the elegant clean Scandinavian look of the cabin, the full graphical display is glossy at the same time as anti-reflective coating minimises reflections and glare. And just as with the driver display, the looks and colour scheme of the centre display can be adapted to suit your mood. In addition, the look of the display also changes depending on the drive mode you choose.

Distance Alert

Keep control of the distance to the vehicle in front and rest assured your Volvo will alert if you come to close. If the Adaptive Cruise Control is disengaged and a vehicle in front comes too close, the distance alert function activates a warning light to help you keep a proper distance. The warning light is displayed with a symbol on the windscreen if your car is equipped with the full-graphic head-up display.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Helping you to maintain your preset gap to vehicles in front at all speeds up to 200 km/h, the Adaptive Cruise Control is a supportive partner for a more relaxed driving experience on any journey. Just select the desired speed and the desired time gap to the vehicle in front. When the radar sensor detects a slower vehicle in front, the speed automatically adapts to that vehicle. And when the road is clear, the car resumes the selected speed. At speeds over 70 km/h, Adaptive Cruise Control also makes overtaking more convenient: simply turning the indicator on, Adaptive Cruise Control will briefly accelerate your car for a more efficient and fast overtaking. Whenever you want, you can also select conventional cruise control.

Rear Collision Warning with braking at standstill

Being hit by a car from behind is one of the most common types of collisions. To help you avoid this type of accidents we created the radar based Rear Collision Warning system. If a vehicle approaches fast from behind and the system calculates that there's a risk of collision, it helps alert the driver in the approaching vehicle by flashing your hazard lights at a high rate. And if a collision still can't be avoided, the Rear Collision Warning system tensions the front safety belts just before the impact to help keep the occupants safely restrained. To help reduce the strain on the occupants at the impact the system also activates the brakes if your car is at standstill.

Pilot Assist

Our new Pilot Assist semi-autonomous drive technology takes the stress out of driving without losing the fun. Already from standstill you can enjoy a smooth and relaxed drive on highways with proper road markings. Assisting you to comfortably follow the traffic flow within the current lane, Pilot Assist provides gentle steering support to help you keep the car within the lane markings while helping you keep your set speed and distance to the vehicle in front of you. Pilot Assist is easily activated via the steering wheel buttons. Steering support is initiated as soon as Pilot Assist detects the lane markings on both sides of the lane. Pilot Assist steering support is active from standstill up to highway speeds, while speed and distance support is available up to 200 km/h. You can override Pilot Assist anytime by using the brakes, pressing the accelerator or turning the steering wheel. And if you don't keep a hand on the steering wheel, Pilot Assist is automatically switched off.

Please note: The driver is expected to actively participate in the driving and remains responsible for monitoring, supervision, and over all operation of the vehicle. Semi-autonomous systems, such as Pilot Assist, are restricted in how much acceleration, braking and steering force they can apply.

Road Sign Information

With Road Sign Information you don't have to miss important road signs. A forward camera detects speed limit, "no overtaking", "no entry" and various types of supplementary signs. The actual sign is then displayed in the speedometer or in the head-up display – to help keep you constantly alert on current restrictions. If you want, it can also alert you with a visual warning if you exceed the speed limit, by flashing gently three times. This is easily set in the centre console menu. And if the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation, information about speed cameras can be displayed next to the speed limit.

Voice control

Your Volvo not only inspires your drive. It can also listen to your commands and fulfil your wishes. To control functions like the climate system, navigation, entertainment and phone, you just have to raise your voice and tell your Volvo what you want. You can talk naturally, just as you were talking to a friend – no complicated menus of words. Our voice control perfectly complements the central display and steering wheel controls, allowing you to keep the hands on the steering wheel and your attention on traffic and the road ahead.

Steering wheel controls

Every little detail in your Volvo is there for a reason – to give you a great experience and facilitate life in your car. For example, the button controls that are neatly integrated in the steering wheel design. From here you can control several functions like cruise control, phone, infotainment, trip computer and the driver information menu in the driver display – all without taking your hands off the wheel. And to make your Volvo response even more intuitively to your commands, you can use voice control that is conveniently activated at the press of a steering wheel button.

Illuminated vanity mirrors

Fitted in the sun visors for the driver and front seat passenger, lights come on when you open the vanity mirror cover – convenient and practical. Integrated ticket holders further enhance your convenience.

Automatic headlamp levelling

The light beams from the LED headlights are automatically kept at the optimum level to provide you with the best vision without dazzling other road-users, regardless of load and the amount of passengers. The system acts swiftly and will even maintain the headlight level during fast acceleration.

Power door mirrors

You easily adjust the aerodynamic yet generously dimensioned door mirrors from your position in the driver's seat. To protect your door mirrors from damage while the car for example is parked or driving through a car wash, press both buttons for the left and right mirror at the same time to fold them flat against the car. They can also be set to fold or unfold automatically every time you lock or unlock the car. To facilitate parking, the door mirrors can tilt automatically (or by the push of a button) to show you the kerb when reversing. Contributing to your safety when it's cold, the door mirrors are electrically heated together with the rear window and therefore kept free from frost. And to make sure that a following car’s headlights don’t dazzle you when driving in the dark, you can add an auto-dimming function that reduces intrusive light reflection via the door mirrors.

Power parking brake

The power parking brake is easily engaged by pulling the control upwards. You can also set the parking brake to engage automatically every time you stop the engine. It is released automatically as soon as you press the accelerator with the transmission in the DRIVE or REVERSE mode – very convenient when moving off from steep gradients. You can also release it manually by pressing the control downwards.

Power folding outer rear head restraints

Helping to increase your field of vision when the rear seat is unoccupied, the outer head restraints can be folded forward at the push of a button from the driver's seat. In the folded position, the head restraints are designed to obstruct passengers from sitting down without raising them to their upright position. The height-adjustable rear middle head restraint can be fully retracted into the backrest to further improve rear vision.

Heated windscreen

Standing outside your car scraping off the ice on a cold winter’s morning isn’t the best start to your day. Now, thanks to our heated windscreen, all you need to do is push a button. When you do, the windscreen will start de-icing immediately just like the rear window and door mirrors, and you’ll soon be on your way.

Heated windscreen washer nozzles

To give you the best possible vision even in heavy rain or snow at all speeds, extremely efficient washer nozzles are integrated into the wiper arms and apply fluid above the wiper blades. By adding heating that prevents the washer fluid to freeze in the nozzles, the windscreen can be washed even in the harshest conditions.

Speed limiter

Your Volvo can help to ensure that you do not exceed the speed limits. Set a speed limit of your choice or allow automatic setting using information from the Road Sign Information System. When you reach the set speed limit, your car will help ensure you not exceed that speed unless you depress the accelerator fully for a moment. In the driver's display, you can see the set speed limit.

Head-up display

Driving your Volvo, you never have to look away from the road. The head-up display presents the most vital driver information as it's hovering two metres in front of the windscreen. You can keep your eyes on the traffic at the same time as you, for example, get information from the navigation system. You don't have to change focus or look down, which also gives less strain on the eyes. The brightness of the head-up display adapts automatically to the light conditions, and you can set the system to suit your own personal preferences.

Park Assist Camera, rear

To further improve your convenience when reversing, the rear Park Assist Camera helps display what’s going on behind your car. Using a digital camera discretely located under the tailgate handle, it shows a wide view behind your car on the centre display. On-screen guiding lines provide extra assistance for smooth parking. You can also switch the camera to a zoomed-in view close to the car – very convenient when hitching a trailer, for example.

360° camera

With our 360° camera you can see a virtual bird's eye view of the area surrounding your Volvo. A high-resolution image is shown in the centre display and will be a great help for example when manoeuvring or reversing in tight areas with impaired visibility – you can even see what's going around the corner at a 180° side view in front or at the rear of your car. The system uses four hidden cameras: two at the door mirrors, one at the front and one at the rear. And by gently touching the camera images on the centre display touch screen, you can get a view from just that camera. The rear camera can also be switched to a zoomed-in view close to the car – very convenient when hitching a trailer, for example.

8-inch driver display

From the moment you take your position behind the wheel of your Volvo, you'll feel you're in control. In the full graphical digital driver display in front of you, all relevant driver information – including navigation directions, telephone and actual road signs – is intuitively displayed. The 8-inch display features one big central instrument that is surrounded by additional information displays. To ensure that all information is presented as clearly and comfortably for your eyes as possible, the brightness of the display adapts automatically according to the exterior light conditions. Like, for example, when the sun shines through the windows or there are lights from vehicles behind when it's dark. It also adapts when you're driving through a tunnel and at night. The driver display can also be seen by the front seat passenger. When the ignition is off, the display has a glossy black, hi-tech look to enhance the exclusive impression every time you enter your Volvo.

12-inch driver display

From the moment you take your position behind the wheel of your Volvo, you'll feel you're in control. In the full graphical digital driver display in front of you, all relevant driver information – including navigation directions, telephone and actual road signs – is intuitively displayed. Our top-of-the-line 12-inch display features two large round instruments and one central information display. Depending on how you use it, the size of the information display adapts to give you the best visual experience. For example, if you use the navigation system, that display becomes bigger and the two instruments smaller. Further contributing to your driving experience, you can choose between different looks and colour schemes to adapt the display to the mood you're in. There's a choice of four graphic display modes. In addition, the look of the display also changes depending on the drive mode you choose. The mode you select, also applies for the 9-inch centre display. To ensure that all information is presented as clearly and comfortably for your eyes as possible, the brightness of the display adapts automatically according to the exterior light conditions. Like, for example, when the sun shines through the windows or there are lights from vehicles behind when it's dark. It also adapts when you're driving through a tunnel and at night. The driver display can also be seen by the front seat passenger. When the ignition is off, the display has a glossy black, hi-tech look to enhance the exclusive impression every time you enter your Volvo.

Interior lighting

Good lighting is the key to creating the right atmosphere. This is as true in your car as it is in your home. When you unlock your Volvo, the interior light together with foot well lights and mood lights are illuminated. And when a front door is opened, light under the door illuminates the ground by courtesy to help you avoid stepping into, for example, a puddle of water. In addition, illuminated tread plates and a light guide along the dashboard and the four doors create a welcoming feel inside your Volvo. The discrete mood lights further contributes to a warm and cosy atmosphere when travelling. Front reading lamps are integrated in the roof console. The rear seat reading lamps are recessed in the roof and shaded to avoid dazzling the driver. The interior light will fade out gradually after the doors have been closed, but will switch off immediately if the ignition is turned on or the doors are locked.

Interior high level illumination

When you unlock your Volvo, the interior light together with foot well lights and mood lights are illuminated. And when a front door is opened, light under the door illuminates the ground by courtesy to help you avoid stepping into, for example, a puddle of water. In addition, illuminated tread plates and a light guide along the dashboard and the four doors create a welcoming feel inside your Volvo. The discrete multicolour mood lights, the door pocket illumination and the interior door handle illumination further contribute to a warm and cosy atmosphere when travelling. This also makes it easy to see and find things in the dark. Front reading lamps are integrated in the roof console. The rear seat reading lamps are recessed in the roof and shaded to avoid dazzling the driver. The interior light will fade out gradually after the doors have been closed, but will switch off immediately if the ignition is turned on or the doors are locked. And to facilitate loading or unloading your car in the dark, the tailgate working light lights up when you open the tailgate.

Standard on Inscription and R-Design.

Cruise control

Conveniently operated from the steering wheel, cruise control allows you to drive in a more relaxed way without having to keep your foot on the accelerator. The car maintains the speed you choose until you turn off the cruise control or press the brake, accelerator or clutch. After braking or using the clutch, the car returns to its previous cruising speed at the touch of a button. After accelerating – for instance to overtake – your car automatically reverts to its previous cruising speed once you release the accelerator.

Trip computer

Operated via the indicator stalk, the trip computer shows current and average fuel consumption, how far the fuel will take you and average speed – helping you drive more economically.

Full-LED Active High Beam illumination

Journeys after dark have just become a lot more enjoyable and safer. Our signature design LED headlights combine an impactful look with safety and convenience. Advanced Full-LED Active High Beam illumination technology allows a supremely wide and long light pattern – the light is more than twice as strong as conventional halogen lights. And helping you to see around corners at night, the lights turn up to 30 degrees in either direction with the steering. And with this system, you don’t need to keep flicking between low and high beam, which is not only annoying – according to several studies, it’s also a major cause of night-time accidents. With our new system, your headlights stay on high beam all the time. When another car approaches from the opposite direction, the system prevents dazzling the other driver by shading out only as much of your beam as necessary – no more, no less. Still, the LED headlights will illuminate the areas around the other car with high beam. The same applies to cars in front of you. The system can even recognise pedestrians and cyclists and avoids dazzling them, too – it can keep track of ten separate objects at the same time. And because the system is intelligent, the high beam shuts off when you enter a city, but if you drive past an illuminated sign – say a filling station or supermarket – it stays on so you can see what’s coming up. This means you benefit from safety as well as convenience. During daytime, the distinctive hammer shaped light-guides not only act as daytime running lights to make your car more conspicuous – they also flash in a warm colour when indicating. And when the dipped headlights are needed for illumination, they are automatically engaged by a twilight sensor. Contributing to improved fuel economy and lower running costs, the LED lights are extremely energy efficient and last the lifetime of the car without losing any luminance.

Fog lamp with cornering function

At speeds of up to 40 km/h, the optional fog lamp with cornering function illuminates the area in which you’re turning at up to 15 degrees around the car for safer manoeuvring – for instance if you’re parking, turning into a small road or driving through a narrow gateway at night. To enhance your control during reversing in the dark, the cornering light activates on both sides to illuminate the area around your car.

Ambient temperature gauge

Monitors the outside temperature and warns you if there is any risk of black ice.

BLIS™ blind spot information system and Cross Traffic Alert

BLIS™ is a Volvo innovation that helps alert you if a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches fast from behind. The rear-mounted radar sensors cover a large area behind the car and work in various sorts of weather and light conditions, day or night. As a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches rapidly from behind, this function can alert you via a warning light in the front door posts – left and right. Together with the door mirrors, which include a wide-angle mirror on the driver side, this helps you assess the feasibility of a lane change. BLIS™ is activated once the car exceeds 12 km/h and reacts to almost any type of vehicle, including motorcycles. Reversing out of a parking space or anywhere else with restricted vision at the sides can be a tricky business. To make these manoeuvres easier and less stressful our Cross Traffic Alert uses the rear radar sensors to alert you of crossing traffic from the sides. You'll be alerted by an audible warning from the left or right rear loudspeaker and by a graphic warning in the centre display. Alerting for approaching vehicles as well as for pedestrians and cyclists, Cross Traffic Alert is especially helpful in tight and crowded areas where the side view might be limited.

Smartphone integration

Use your smartphone in a smarter way and integrate its familiar interface and functions with the centre display in your Volvo. Make calls, write messages, enjoy music and navigate easily using the touch screen, steering wheel controls or voice control. Cable connection via an additional USB port in the front centre armrest means your battery is charged and you can enjoy the highest sound quality through the audio system. Smartphone integration supports iPhone® (5 or later) as well as Android smartphones (5.0 Lollipop or later).

Park assist sensors, rear

Activated when you reverse or if the car rolls backwards with the gear in neutral, the rear park assist sensors help you when manoeuvring into tight spaces. The audio system is turned down and a pulsating sound from the rear loudspeakers increases in frequency as the car gets closer to the obstacle, becoming a continuous tone when it’s time to stop. The centre display shows a graphical top view of the car and the distance to detected obstacles.

Park Assist Pilot

Take away the fuss of parallel parking and let your car park itself. At the press of a button, Park Assist Pilot scans the parking slot using ultrasonic sensor technology. PAP alerts you if the slot is spacious enough (minimum 1.2 x the length of the car). Then just follow the instructions in the driver information display. You control the speed and direction of your car, while PAP takes over the steering until you're perfectly parked.

Driver adjustable power steering

To adapt the speed-dependent power steering characteristics to your own personal preferences, you can add driver adjustable power steering. While the steering assistance adjusts automatically depending on your car’s speed, you can choose in the centre display between three levels of overall steering feel and sensitivity – for low, medium or high steering assistance through the entire speed range.

Apple CarPlay

If you are used to iPhone you'll probably prefer to meet that interface every time you connect your iPhone to the centre display in your Volvo. With Apple CarPlay, the display of your iPhone (5 or later) with some of its apps and buttons is mirrored at the centre display. You conveniently control functions like phone and music in the familiar Apple IOS layout – either via the centre display touch screen or by Siri voice commands. You can also receive and reply to text messages using Siri voice commands. Your iPhone is connected using a cable via an additional USB port in the front centre armrest which means your battery is charged and you can enjoy a higher sound quality through the audio system.

Rain sensor

Once activated, the rain sensor can start the windscreen wipers as soon as it begins to rain or if water splashes onto the windscreen. For your convenience, it can also automatically adapt the intermittent windscreen-wiper function. Its sensitivity can be adjusted via a ring on the wiper stalk.

Daytime Running Lights with daylight sensor

With the light switch in the Auto position, the fuel-saving Daytime Running Lights are automatically activated. If the daylight becomes to dim, or if you enter a tunnel for example, a sensor will detect the changed light conditions and activate your car's headlights. They will also be activated if you turn on the windscreen wipers or the rear fog light. The system will turn the headlights automatically as well.

Automatically dimmed inner rear-view mirror

Ending the need to take your hand off the steering wheel and stop headlight beams shining in your eyes, the anti-dazzle function is stepless and returns to normal when it's no longer needed.

Automatically dimmed inner rear-view mirror with compass

Avoid being dazzled with this automatically adjusting frameless rear-view mirror. Adjusts itself to deflect the headlamp beams of the car behind you and when there's no light to dazzle you, it automatically returns to its normal setting.

To assist with navigation, compass direction is continuously displayed in the rear view mirror glass.

Inner and outer rear view mirrors with Auto Dim

The inner rear view mirror and the door mirrors dim simultaneously to help prevent you from being dazzled by the headlights of traffic behind. Once the blinding light ceases, the mirror glass reverts to normal mode automatically.

Power retractable door mirrors

To protect your door mirrors from damage while the car for example is parked or driving through a car wash, press both buttons for the left and right mirror at the same time to fold them flat against the car. They can also be set to fold or unfold automatically every time you lock or unlock the car. And to facilitate parking, the door mirrors can tilt automatically (or by the push of a button) when reversing.

Power windows, front and rear

The power windows have controls conveniently located in the door armrests. The front windows can be lowered or raised with a quick press or pull of a button, and you can lock the back windows from the driver’s seat if you’re travelling with small children. In this case, you’ll also be glad of the automatic anti-clamp protection, which will stop a window from closing on a trapped little hand.

Speed-dependent power steering

The optional speed-dependent and progressive power steering uses sophisticated, speed-sensitive technology to regulate the amount of power assistance you need while driving. At highway speeds, the steering is firm and positive. When parking or in slow traffic, the steering is light and effortless. While the steering sensitivity adjusts automatically depending on your car’s speed, you can choose in the centre display between three levels of overall steering sensitivity – for low steering effort, medium or high.

Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

With our Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System you'll be instantly alerted in the driver display if one of your tyres is low on pressure. Active at 30 km/h or more, it helps increase your safety as well as ensuring maintained comfort and handling characteristics. The system uses the car's anti-lock brake system sensors to calculate the tyre pressure.

Headlamp level adjuster

The headlamp level adjuster allows the driver to lower or raise the angle of the headlight beam by turning a dial on the instrument panel. This is particularly useful when driving at night with a full load. Applies only to halogen headlamps; the LED headlamps adjust automatically.

Sensus Connect

With Sensus Connect, you connect with the digital world around you as naturally as you communicate with your Volvo. Intelligent driver interfaces – like the 8-inch digital driver display, the 9-inch centre display with touch screen, steering wheel buttons, voice control and the optional head-up display – interact intuitively to give you full control of all functions without taking your attention from the road. Via your smartphone, you have instant access to internet maps and a host of convenient in-car apps – for example to enjoy internet radio, audio books, music streaming, log-in at Facebook and browse the web. Your Volvo can even book service when it's time. This also means your Volvo already today is technologically prepared for coming web and cloud-based in-car infotainment functions. Your smartphone connects wirelessly via Bluetooth and you can enjoy audio streaming through the well-sounding High Performance audio system that's included in Sensus Connect. You can also connect your media devices physically using AUX and USB inputs. To further enhance your experience, there's a range of options to choose from. Adding Sensus Navigation will provide you with connected navigation functions and a host of convenient navigation and parking apps. If you want to operate your iPhone (5 or later) in the car's centre display using the same interface you are used to from your iPhone, there's the option of Apple CarPlay. And with Volvo On Call, you can create a stable wifi hotspot that uses the car's roof antenna for your internet-connected mobile devices – it also includes an innovative smartphone app that gives you access to a host of remote functions, such as locking/unlocking the doors, starting the engine heater or air conditioning and just checking up on your car. You can also complement your Sensus Connect with a 12-inch driver display, DAB+ radio, HD radio/Sirius satellite radio, digital TV and an extra USB input.

Sensus Connect with High Performance

When we created the audio systems to the Volvo XC90, our focus was simply to deliver the most impressive sound in the category. Already from ground up, the vehicle architecture is designed with audio performance in mind – for example when it comes to how we fit and integrate the speakers into the car. For a really crisp and natural sound, the six-channel amplifier of the High Performance audio system delivers a total of 330 watts to ten speakers. The tweeters, woofers and mid-range speakers are separated and interact to give you and all your passengers a top quality sound experience – even if they travel in the third row of the seven-seat version. The overall sound quality and bass performance is quite simply superb, and if you want an even richer and deeper bass sound there's the option of an extremely powerful sub-woofer. This audio system is part of our Sensus Connect which also includes the 9-inch centre display with touchscreen and steering wheel controls with a scroll wheel. And if you want to watch your favourite TV shows while at standstill, you can add Digital TV for terrestrial channels.

Premium Sound by Bowers & Wilkins

In our quest for perfection, we developed our new state-of-the-art audio system Premium Sound together with the renowned high-end audio manufacturers Bowers & Wilkins. The result is simply overwhelming – the Premium Sound by Bowers & Wilkins may be the world's best sound system in the class. The numbers are impressive: one 12-channel amplifier, an astonishing 1400W output and 19 separate high-end speakers (including two automotive innovations: a unique open-air sub-woofer and a tweeter-on-top centre speaker facing the occupants for a sound that's detailed and true to life). But this audio system goes beyond figures – our sound engineers have searched obsessively for audiophile perfection. Using a radically new approach, they developed a unique room transformation technology together with the Swedish audio software specialists Dirac Research. This technology makes it possible to recreate the acoustics of a specific room inside the car. There are three room modes: "Studio" for an excellent, dry and precise listening experience, "Individual Stage" that allows you to control the acoustics and create your own sound using the centre display, and "Gothenburg Concert Hall" which recreates the amazing acoustic experience of this legendary concert hall. The result speaks directly to any music lover's soul – wherever you're seated in your XC90. The whole experience exudes quality and craftsmanship – most of the tweeter and mid-range speaker panels are in stainless steel, and the yellow speaker cones are elegantly visible through the mesh. This audio system is part of our Sensus Connect which also includes the 9-inch centre display with touchscreen and steering wheel controls with a scroll wheel. And if you want to watch your favourite TV shows while at standstill, you can add Digital TV for terrestrial channels.

Sub-woofer, open-air

Want to enjoy the depth of genuine, uncluttered bass? We designed this sub-woofer to meet the audiophile's most exacting demands on bass reproduction. Using open-air technology that allows the sub-woofer's 250 mm carbon fibre cone to pulse enormous amounts of air through an opening in the rear wheel-arch, it can deliver extremely low and undistorted bass tones (down to 20 Hz). And to save space, the sub-woofer is thin and integrated in the vehicle architecture to not encroach passenger or load space. This open-air sub-woofer is included in the Premium Sound by Bowers & Wilkins. A lower specified version is available as option for the High Performance audio system.

Steering wheel remote control

Adjust the volume, switch radio stations or play the previous or next track without taking your hands off the wheel. With illuminated buttons and an optional scroll-wheel control for intuitive use, just scroll your track lists and push to choose track.

Single CD player

This single CD player is elegantly integrated into the front centre armrest. You operate it conveniently from the centre display with touchscreen or from the steering wheel keypad. Select individual tracks or allow the CD player to select them at random. You can also play MP3 and WMA music files.

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)

With a digital radio on board, you can listen to Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) – the standard for digital radio in Europe. In countries with DAB broadcasts, you'll have access to more radio channels, improved radio reception and near-CD quality sound.

Digital TV receiver

Don’t miss your favourite TV show even if you’re in your car. Complement your Volvo with this digital TV receiver, and you can watch terrestrial TV broadcasts on the centre display when the car is not being driven. The digital TV is conveniently controlled via the touchscreen or the optional remote control.

Extra power outlet

Neatly integrated in all seat rows, the extra power outlets can provide electricity for an electric cooler box, phone charger, game console or other portable electronic devices. Adding the extra high-voltage power outlet at the back of the rear tunnel, you can also connect or charge appliances in your car, for example a laptop. For safety reasons, the power outlet is hidden behind a pull-down cover.
